  1. I would like to propose the addition of a new type of redeem that I think would greatly improve the user-experience on Twitch. This new redeem type will be a dropdown that offers the viewers with a selection of pre-defined choices to pick from.

    CURRENTLY
    As of now, streamers can create custom redeems: - basic standard redeem, with just a single button for confirmation - text-based redeem, that requires the viewer to input text before sending.

    BENEFITS AND EXAMPLES
    The inclusion of the new dropdown-redeem would bring several advantages to both streamers and viewers:
    - Streamlining: Streamers with many sounds…

  2. Hello Twitch Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I'm a dedicated Twitch viewer and I wanted to express my enthusiasm for the platform. I have been enjoying the interactive elements like channel points, which add a lot of fun and engagement to the viewing experience.

    I wanted to suggest a feature that I believe would enhance the community aspect even further. It would be fantastic if there was a way for viewers to see an approximate count of channel points that others have. This feature could encourage healthy competition, collaboration, and engagement among viewers.

    Having the ability…

  3. Currently you only can input text for channel point rewards. Let's change that. Here are some ideas:

    • Numbers only
    • dropdown list
    • sliders (with adjustable range)
    • up to 6 buttons (text or icons)
    • color picker
    • Other usernames in chat
    • 1-5 stars rating
    • date/time
    • secret (isn't shown in chat, except for >= moderators)

    the payload of those results can be sent as regular content, as if they were entered as text. This would remove a lot of explaining to viewers how to use channel points.

    No more "If you enter \"can you set your LEDs to brown?\" into the field, my script…

  4. This feature was nice when it first release but now all these extra popups for like a watching streak and stuff is getting in the way and some channels have several point redeems that scrolling is a chore. PLZ make this popup bigger or a separate window.

  5. I think users should be allowed to give their channel points to other users. You choose who you want to give your channel points to and how much channel points you want to give them. It could be useful in multiple circumstances.

    For example, a user has 45k channel points and wants to redeem a reward that costs 50k. A different user may be generous and then give the first user 5k channel points so they can afford the reward.

    Since streamers have infinite channel points for their channel, they could give users points too. For example, they could have…

  6. We need to be able to receive "freezes", just like in duolingo, you can miss one day/stream and still be able to continue with your streak. It is a bit harsh having a high watch streak and miss one then you have to start over.

    For example: you could give one "freeze" for every 10 streams/days you watch. And then you could perhaps be able to store up to 3 freezes, then you would be able to miss 3 days/streams consecutively without losing your streak.

  7. Discord has ephemeral messages for specific actions that only the person doing that action can see.

    Having a similar system for users redeeming rewards would prevent the chat from spamming with the rewards where no one can now chat, but would also allow viewers to notice that rewards have been redeemed.

    Additionally, these messages could also be sent back to a user when a channel point reward is marked as unfulfilled. This would allow services using the API to send a message along when they are unable to fulfill the reward.

    An example of a rejection message with Crowd Control…

  8. A section similar to emote analytics but for channel point redemptions.

    After clearing out your channel point rewards queue, there's no longer a way to see what was redeemed and how many times. While streaming, it's very hard to keep track of that.

    Having a dedicated section for analytics would allow creators to remove redemptions that are only being used by a small portion of viewers or even one or two people and replace it with something more can enjoy.

    Creating this analytic will also help creators increase chat engagement as they'll understand better what they can do to prompt…

  9. Can we get group sets of Point Redeems? For instance, I have game related Redeems while streaming variety games, but I'd like to use a different set of Redeems for Music streams that don't interrupt the music playing. Currently, the Channel Point Redeems are one long list and streamers have to turn on/off individual Redeems one at a time. Can we have it where a group of Point Redeems can be turned off or on? It would be similar to the UX/UI of the newly updated Twitch Alerts. Visuals for what I'm talking about linked in my Tweet below. Thanks!!!

  10. Allow viewers to disable watch streak notifications. The watch streak notification covers the channel point redeem options unless you share it, and its super annoying. There's no way to remove that and it makes navigating the channel point redeems more difficult than it already is.

  11. Several streamers have similar redeems of the same cost. For example, to play different sounds, to apply different voice-modifiers, to activate different light-effects, to change the avatar's outfit.

    Streamers who have many option available, it will create a very long list of redeems, making the list cumbersome to go through. So an idea is that all redeems of the same type is grouped together into a single redeem, which sub-redeems, where you set the price for the group, and all sub-redeems have the same price.

    This would not only make the list less cluttered and easier for watchers to go…

  12. So from what I know and understand of the inner workings of channel point redeems, they possess an App Ownership ID of sorts to ensure only the app that created it via the API can edit it. While that is a good call from a security standpoint, the complete lack of an ability to change it is an inconvenience in usability.

    Imagine you are switching from one third-party bot tool to another, or maybe you just start out using one to begin with - and now you need that new tool to have access to all your dozens of redeems,…

  13. It is not that big of a change but it still bugs me. This will more likely be a quality of life kind of change.i always saw channel points in K(like 15K points) but after I have changed my mobile, could be cuz I am Indian and we use thousands to count but it changed to T(15T). I just liked the good ol K and I did not find any way to revert it or change it. Would be nice if you have a standard of representation,or if that is not possible, give us a feature to change how to…

  14. I would love the ability to tie similar redeems to a group to share a global cooldown. Example: i have two redeems thats change my model both on 5min cooldowns. If someone redeems one it starts a timer on my side but if someone redeems the other during that it is lost.

    Basically i'd like a redeem "group" so if any redeem is made in the group, all redeems in the group are put on cooldown.

  15. I would like more channel points settings:

    1. make Community Challenge without an expiration date. Or make a separate section as a "Points Goal". Let's say if you get a certain number of points then there will be something. Essentially the same system, but long-term.

    2. Give viewers the opportunity in the rewards themselves to enter the number of points he wants to spend. For example, to compile the top games on the stream. And the viewer himself will add how many points he wants to add. Instead of the streamer creates several rewards with a fixed number.

  16. A chat message on Twitch is limited to 500 characters. This same limitation is applied to redeems that requires the user to input text.

    Let the streamer be allowed to choose a custom max limit on a reedem like this, which is useful for when you redeem a phrase to be read by the streamer. When a limit like this is set, a character counter can be displayed when typing.

    Like for polls, there could possibly also be an option to be allowed to "purchase" additional blocks for points (done automatically). For example, say a phrase redeem costs 500 points,…

  17. I don't want the channel points themselves.
    So I wish there was a feature to disable channel points from increasing.
    I also wish there was a feature to zero channel points.

  18. I see too many channels with duplicated rewards.

    Examples:
    -sound alert: scream, sound alert: knock knock, ...
    -make me wear a lutin hat, make me wear a pirate hat, ...

    Sometimes the streamer has the idea to give all the possible choices in the description of one rewards, but it makes big descriptions, and it is not always possible when they are handled by an app. Moreover the viewer may forget to write what choice he wants.

    My idea is to be able to propose several options for each rewards, and when a viewer want to buy it he would…

  19. Voy a explicarlo en español y luego intentaré traducirlo al inglés, para que de este modo la gente pueda entender correctamente cuál es mi sugerencia y creo que es más que necesaria que esté implantada en twitch.

    Comenzaré con un ejemplo:
    Streamer está haciendo directo y uno de sus moderadores canjea puntos que le obligan a hacer gimnasia.
    Le envía 10 veces lo de hacer gimnasia y el streamer se ve obligado a hacerlo puesto que el usuario ha gastado puntos.

    Termina el directo y el streamer en los minutos después de finalizar el directo, va a la lista de…

  20. Hello to all the twitch community, I had an idea for the channel points. I thought of a channel point that would be called "first" and that the followers could spend their points to get it first quickly. When they get the channel point first they would also get a temporary badge to indicate that they are the first to arrive on the live. The channel point would be available once per streamer for a single viewer.

    As for the developers on twitch, you just have to set up the temporary first badge and that's it. The twitch community could…
