With the implementation of Channel Points, the opportunity for chat interaction and participation has sky-rocketed. To make it even better, allow users to redeem some of the "Channel Point" rewards using bits.

Allow the streamer to create a reward with the option to toggle "Redeem with Channel Points" and "Redeem with Bits" and set the threshold for each. This would give streamers the option create rewards that can be redeemed only with bits, only with channel points, or with either.

This would be entirely community-driven. People are already donating bits to creators, so let those donations affect the stream. It is safe from abuse, because the Channel Points system already has a "Limit how many" option. Right now, there isn't any reason to donate bits besides "I wanted to" but this would allow the community to become more personally involved in every stream and put a real meaning behind the donations that are already occurring.

For variety streamers, it would be wonderful to be able to put certain channel point rewards into folders that can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch.

For example, I could put all my "Fallguys" rewards into a "Fallguys" folder. Then the entire folder could be turned on. When I play a different game, I could turn the folder off.

With the current system, we have to go through a huge list of rewards turning each individual reward on and off when switching games. The end result is that many streamers just have rewards that don't always make sense, depending on what they're doing that day.

The point multipliers have recently changed so that it is fairer that if you are paying for a higher tier sub, you receive a higher multiplier. Unfortunately, as opposed to increasing the multiplier for higher-tiered, lower tiers had their multipliers drastically lowered to the point of not really being that different from a non-subscriber. Idk how it may look from the pov of Twitch Staff, but from a user, getting 12 points for passive watch time and 60 points for an active watch time bonus while a non-subscriber gets 10 and 50 points respectively just doesn't seem that fair. When the higher-tiered subs came out, it was initially designed for users who wanted to support streamers at a higher level (and as such a higher percentage of the subscription price would go to the streamer), but it has since been made fairer so that they actually are getting more for their money's worth, which was not the original intention of the higher tiers, but I understand it. Support your streamer more and get more from it at the same time.

I understand why it's plausible to give higher-tiered subs a higher point multiplier but I can't fathom why Twitch would need to take away from regular tier-1 subs in the process. As a subscriber, we are quite literally paying infinitely more than someone who isn't subscribed at all (unless they were gifted). While it makes sense for a higher-tiered sub to have a higher multiplier, it doesn't make sense for the multiplier of a subscriber (formerly 2x, now 1.2x) to be almost identical to someone who isn't subscribed at all (1x). The difference is negligible, and because of that, I'm humbly requesting that the tier-1 multiplier be restored to 2x and if Twitch wants to, they can make a higher multiplier for higher-tiered subs.

I'm in the process of developing a game designed to use channel points (CP) as a means for viewers to interact with it. I however have encountered a couple of minor issues that would be detrimental or unintended side effects of the game due to limitations in the channel point system.

Firstly, there is no way to order CP rewards manually. Since the CP rewards are the viewers interface and resulting action, it would be much better to have them ordered by type of action rather then the cost of the action. In addition I wanted to use a "NOTES" reward to give the viewer basic information about the game, but in order to make it appear first I have to make it cheaper then all the other actions, which may result in people wasting there CP on something that doesn't do anything.

Secondly, as implied by the above, CP rewards are the viewers actions in the game, but there is no way to disable the chat message for rewards redemptions, in small to medium channels, this probably isn't going to be too big of an issue, but with the cheapest action currently being 50 points, when you get to 200+ viewers it's going to be a major issue. As such a toggle to not show reward redemption publicly would be nice (the viewer should still see the redemption).

Greetings.

My friend runs a very low-tier channel on twitch, and I'm the horrible computer janitor saddled with coding his insane demands. One of the rewards he offers is for people to become a "king of the stream". This doesn't do anything besides play a special sound, it's just a fun thing people can spend their points on.

Of course, we all know the internet; the more meaningless something is, the more people want it. Often, this reward is sniped while my friend is still getting set up and people are filing in. This kinda ruins it for everyone else because it's a "once per stream" redemption that's usually redeemed before the audience at large can file in.

It would be nice if there was a feature for point rewards to only be redeemed after a set amount of time after the stream starts, or a random delay.

Thank you.

Moderators have access to view the reward requests view of the twitch streams they moderate for and accept or reject the reward redemption. Can broadcaster have more control over this capability?

While it is awesome our mods have the ability to do this, some moderators may exploit the ability to approve and reject requests, while rejection means the channel points go back to the person. For custom rewards this means they can keep accumulating points and redeeming them on custom rewards and then rejecting and giving themselves the points back.

As broadcasters, we do not have the ability to see what our moderators have approved/rejected in the rewards queue. While this is great, broadcasters have no idea what was approved or denied/given back in points and what moderators are accessing when. This means, moderators may be approving or crediting the channel points they redeem back to themselves, or wiping queues before the streamer has a chance to action anything (like gifting subs).

Yes we should entrust our mods to do the right thing, but the principle is for rewards (which could come with out of pocket expenses) broadcasters whould have the ability to make sure moderators are not exploiting.

Can we please have the option to toggle the reward request queue to:
Off - Moderators and Editors do not have access
On - Moderators and Editors have access
Editors - Only editors have access

This would allow broadcasters to have the ability of what mods/editors can do on their channel with rewards.

Note: Having and auditable log would be great too. Being able to see what was redeemed, who cleared the reward and how (accepted/declined).
