  1. Some of us like to watch our favorite streamers on the big TV so being able to earn channel points while watching on our console app and that would also benefit the people who want to watch that don't have a PC and also don't want to watch on their mobile device.

  2. Since streamers can't give channel points directly to their community, I think they should be able to contribute to their Community Challenges themselves.

    That way, a streamer could reward a viewer (for instance after completing a minigame, like answering a trivia question) by donating points to the Community Challenge of their choosing. Since streamers have infinite channel points, this also allows them to complete a challenge early without refunding the points.

    This should obviously be available only for the challenges that the streamer creates, not the ones provided by Twitch like the "Boost this stream" challenge.

  3. I think an option to add bits/cheers into the channel points redeemables would be a welcomed addition. It would help the support Twitch and Streamers. There are bots that already use channel points redeemables in conjunction with an overlay system, such as MixItUpApp, which allows overlays (images, videos, text, etc) to be displayed on the stream using a local browser source. Mixer had a similar setup when you spent their version of bits (embers), but their overlay was in-house and had videos that played showering embers, shark eating embers as it went by, trains going by with embers dropping etc.…

  4. It will be a manual action by the streamer and not automatic so as to counteract channel point farming, and can only be done by the streamer.

  5. When you predict with a custom number of channel points, you have to type a number in the field and press the "vote" button. Would be great if you could submit your prediction by pressing the Return or Enter key.

  6. It would be good for mod view if there was a button that could pause all channel point redemptions for when there are specific times a streamer wants them off. I have to go in individually and disable all of them and it's pretty tedious. So it would be nice if there was a button to turn them all off or a separate menu that came up where there would be checkboxes for each one you want to turn off instead of going in each redeem individually.

  7. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a system where point redemptions scale as they are redeemed. For example, some streamers have a Push-up redemption for say 1000 points. The next tier or redemption of that point redeem would cost a set markup that the streamer sets. If say the streamer marks it up by 50% the next redemption would cost 1500 points instead of 1000. I think this idea would curb trolls, make redemptions more meaningful and help streamers like myself come up with unique ideas.

  9. Our most common support request is about broken Channel Points.

    The problem happens when custom Channel Point names are changed.

    This is annoying because now streamers can't change the name to their local language or other personal preferences.

    If CP's receive a unique id, our Twitch extensions can communicate with that and this would provide streamers with more customisation options.

  10. There are a few great cooldown options for Channel Points redemptions, however I think it'd be fantastic if we could possibly have an option for an "Only available after stream has been online for X minutes/hours" as a possible cooldown option too.

    As an example I have a limited redemption to give my Doggo a treat, but if this gets redeemed right at the very VERY start of the stream, people that don't arrive at the very start miss out - and if I say 'thanks for the redemption, I'll do that later' it kinda feels rude to the redeemer,…

  11. Channel Point icons and reward icons currently make you upload 3 different versions of the same icon, like we used to have to do with emotes. Now we are able to upload a single image and have it auto-scaled to the proper size. Since this is clearly possible to implement, I don't understand why we still have to upload our channel point icons and reward icons 3 times.

  12. Add a role for twitch viewers in which they essentially manage predictions. It would be identical to how moderators can currently manage predictions, however, these users would not have the other permissions of moderator (timing out / banning / slow mode etc.)

  13. I am not sure, but I think if somebody clicks on a channel reward, the biggest, 112px image should be used, but I think, only the 56px is used. Can you please fix this?

  14. So I'm no expert in this sort of thing, so don't crucify me if there's any big problems with the idea but.

    Would there be any scope in making channel points more valuable, so that you could spend them on actual things - perhaps even a twitch browser shop where you could buy various cosmetics to enhance your name or badges, emotes too, or directly support your favourite streamers by buying products they offer with channel points too.

    I see this as having benefits for all parties, that's streamers, twitch and viewers too.

    Streamers would have more concurrent viewers because…

  15. There are quite a lot of issues that the mobile app has that are somewhat out of your team’s control, and I understand that. However, there are a few things that I think could improve the experience while using it. One of them is to add an option to display a small “claim points” icon in the corner when you have the stream in full screen. Currently, it’s easy to forget to claim the channel points every 15 minutes, mostly because you either have to be watching the stream vertically (which is suboptimal), or you have to have the chat…

  16. I would like to see a log of what I've spent channel points on, at least for larger redeems (> 10000 points for example), including the current status of the request (pending / fulfilled / refunded). Sometimes I spend a large number of channel points and it can take a while for the streamer/mod team to get around to fulfilling the request, for example adding a discord role for spending points.

  17. A streamer I follow has this thing he does rarely where we establish "teams" behind different characters to show our support for them. Normally he has us change our user names to specific colors in order to show support, but a lot of the viewers dont like having to reset their color later so they dont participate.

    Is there any way we could have a badge after the name, or if not possible than replacing a badge like the cheer badge, with some basic color badges, even if just circles or squares? I am thinking just a simple symbol like…

  18. I'd like to see an option for streamers to make trivia questions for their chat. Chat can click an answer, and the people who guessed it right can get an amount of channel points that the streamer decides.

  20. Being able to set a in and max amount of points to bet. There are times I would not want viewers to bet a large amount of channel points on a question due to it's "ease to answer"
