Bring Back Toggle to Disable Channel Point Redeem Announcements in Chat
Hi Twitch team,
Channel Points are an amazing way for viewers to interact, but the forced purple announcement lines (“username redeemed [Reward]”) make chat unreadable, notably during high-volume redeems. Especially for certain redeems that are meant to be spammed, like check-ins/greetings/etc.
Even extensions and integrations suffer. For example, when using interactive extensions like Tangia, viewers may queue dozens of redeems at once, even on smaller streams. It's fun and engaging, but the constant announcements overwhelm chat so streamers and viewers alike struggle to interact with their communities.
There used to be a toggle to disable these announcements per-reward, but it’s no longer available. Please consider adding back:
A global toggle to hide all redemption announcements would be great for when streamers want as little spam as possible, like story games.
A per-reward option so we can selectively disable announcements for spam-heavy redeems while keeping them for rewards we may want to announce like Hydrate or Posture Check.
This would restore chat readability while making Channel Points usable for more creative, interactive features without harming the viewing or chat experience.
Thank you for considering this request — Improving this would make Channel Points more usable and increase adoption of creative redeems and engagement without spam.
