  1. Contrary to popular belief, I think the new "Power-Ups" could be incredibly powerful, especially when integrated with other external programs. The key factor here is the ability for users to create their own Power-Ups. This capability, similar to how channel points work, could present an amazing opportunity for streamers to profit while fostering fun interactions with their communities.

    Imagine if this were implemented: external programs like Lumia or Streamer.bot could enable a plethora of actions for bits through a simple, familiar format. This integration could revolutionize how streamers engage with their audience.

    However, I believe that point redeems and Power-Ups…

  2. All of the Power-up functions lack sufficient configuration options.

    • Each Power-up should have the option to be individually enabled/disabled by the streamer. This is a bare minimum functionality.
    As of this writing, the Power-Ups FAQ states that all Power-Ups are mandatory "at launch" but offers no information about when/whether that will change.

    • Each Power-up should have its own cooldown settings, both channel-wide and per-user. As of this writing, the emote-spray celebration is the only power-up feature with a cooldown option. The FAQ suggests raising prices as a measure to reduce chat spam, but in reality this means pricing…

  3. There needs to be some better, visible heads up that the Power-Ups won't work if you're using extensions like FFZ, which many viewers use to enhance their experience with Twitch. I tried out a power-up but nothing happened for me and when I report it you're saying it's the extension's fault and won't offer a refund. What you taught me is not to spend any more bits on your features. I would have held back on a browser if I knew and instead I lost faith in you when you couldn't even give back a few bits to try again…

  4. When a Power Up is used as a first-time chat, the Streamer and Mods do not get a "First Time Chat" notification in chat.

  5. Some Streamers don't like the idea that gigantify emotes is a bits only thing. It's a very cool feature yes, but the streamer should have the option to make it cost bits OR channel points at will.

  6. Power-Ups currently do not work consistently across most platforms

    Smart TV Apps (e.g. LG TVs) don't show Power-Ups in any way. The emote and message ones result in these not even showing up in the chat feed, let alone showing the highlight/giant effect.

    The Android app (unsure about iOS) currently does not work fully. Emotes and messages show up when other viewers use them, but without their paid effects. The Celebration feature does not work at all.

    I'm unsure about support on console apps, casting devices, etc.

    The most immediate concern is for mobile support, considering the large amount of…

  11. An interesting option for a Power Up would be an option to view ad free, either for an entire stream or for a set amount of time.

  12. Power-ups should have had this from day and it is remiss of Twitch not to have done this from the day it was implimented. POwer-ups need to be included in the Bits API. Without it games that include bit redemptions, counters and other viewer incentives no longer work properly, and viewers are confused why they do not.
    Needs to be fixed or removed asap.

  13. Add voice typing in the chat, this would make it easier to interact from certain devices, smart tv, smartphone, and why not to not use the keyboard on pc.

  14. Bring back ads for Bits. You morons got rid of it ages ago, and it was the best way to let all the poor financially limited people still participate in bits. Additionally, all these new celebrations with bits and on-screen garbage should be able to be opted out of if the streamer does not want your tacky force fed garbage to be a part of their stream -_-. You say this is for the streamer and yet you are forcing this upon us instead of it being an optional thing. All we can do is change the price and not…

    • Power-ups and Twitch Alerts/bots:
      Power-ups don't trigger cheer alerts and I can't find any way to indicate on-stream that bits have been used. As a streamer, I rely on audio queues to let me know someone has spent money on my channel so that I can thank them in a timely manner. This is basic functionality, I need a way to interact with this redemption that blends seamlessly with existing alerts and recognition for bits.

    • Power-ups & Channel Points
      Could power-ups be moved to a separate cheering menu from Channel Points? It was really confusing the first time I saw…

  15. Rather than adding, this is instead to remove the combination of the bits and channel points menu. This combination, in time with Twitch's Bit Powerup release, only breaks the channel point menu.

    What I'm asking for is the Powerup menu that requires bits, be limited to the bits menu. When you click CHANNEL POINTS, no one wants to see 3 new powerups that require BITS to activate. Message Effects aren't visually appealing, nor are they worth 20 bits. Gigantify Emote is limited to one emote, instead of "Emotes" as it claims in its description. Celebrate only shows on the twitch…

  17. I was watching a stream just now where a user redeemed a poweruo to have the border around the message and the bright colors of the border has me on full tilt. I suggest replacing the borders with something similar that uses duller colors such as grey or brown.

  18. buenas, como streamer me gustaria que añadieran la opcion de dar recompensas por bits tal como con los puntos del canal, siempre me pasa que por ejemplo entro a un server de minecraft y me intercambian bits por cosas en el juego, o el tipico cuantos bits para cerrar directo y etc, que ahi tengas canjeos como en los puntos como por ejemplo nose, "hago 20 flexiones" y que ese canjeo tenga un precio en bits

  19. Space is precious on the Twitch desktop browser. The constant moving has tricked me into hitting the Power-UPS instead of channel points. Leave the channel points area alone. Put the Power-ups in with BITS not channel points.
