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).

Dear Twitch,
I strongly believe that It would be a good idea to implement a fix into twitch making people eligible to collect channel points in multiple streams at the same time. By doing this, many people will have the opportunity to redeem rewards in their favourite twitch streamers stream by simply having a tab of their stream open when ever they are live. Knowing that you are able to watch something else or even another streamer/s and still collect channel points will overall make people happy. I have had my own experience with this as it has been very frustrating trying to finesse my way into being able to collect channel points in three different streams at the same time. Please take this into consideration as it would mean a lot to not only myself but the whole twitch community that loves many streamers on your amazing platform. Much love to all my HOF Tabbers out there.
Kind Regards, Anyara

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.

1. Being able to convert channel points into bits to use for that specific channel where you collected the channel points. Twitch can set an amount that would be beneficial to them and the Broadcaster.

2. Being able to use the channel points to subscribe to the channel. I mean we are there watching and supporting the broadcaster but it would bring in more viewers and watch time if the channel points actually mean something and is useful.

Example where channel points don't matter at all is at Maximilian_Dood's channel who is one of my favorite broadcasters. I have accrued so many points and using them there is pointless. I want to be able to actually support him in a way because I actually enjoy the content and I believe Channel Points if revised can be beneficial for both Twitch and the Broadcaster.

Many streamers have a feature where if you donate a certain amount of currency, whether that be bits or the local currency the streamer has setup on their streaming provider, your message will come up on stream and get read aloud by a voice that the streamer can customize. Because there is generally a minimum amount to get this text-to-speech feature (TTS), and it is a big moneymaker for some people, I don't know how many people would use this feature, but I think it would be a good idea to allow channel points to pay for TTS messages. I know of one or two streamers, in particular, that would benefit from this because they use TTS messages to make streams more fun and create content. People now make memes all the time using the feature, it is very entertaining. Unfortunately, I think that there are so many people that would be really good at crafting excellent messages, but they are unable to afford to donate so their messages are never heard. This would be a great outlet for them, and one that I think is realistic. Although it may take some work because Twitch would need to work with the streaming providers on this, it's something that is absolutely possible and should be investigated.
