  1. I've had an issue for a few months now where I've had a few users use their channel points to time me out repeatedly even though I said nothing or suggested something against TOS, which makes me unable to talk to the streamer or interact with other viewers. So I think to counter something like this, I think that users should only be able to use their points to timeout a person ONCE and then have the streamer's mods timeout or, worst case scenario, ban them from the channel.

  2. Compiling a list of channel point ideas to integrate together, improve engagement in existing systems, and add personal flare to channels.

    1. Add a leaderboard - this has been mentioned previously, but compiling into one thread

    2. Add the ability to give points to active chatters, viewers, raiders, etc. This would allow people coming in on raids to interact, would allow challenges to earn more channel points, and move more people to using the on platform tools rather than pushing to 3rd party sites for the same actions

    3. on-site integrations. This is big. There are so many things that can be done…

  3. Many DJ streamers have one (or more!) request options.

    It would be great if these could be linked to the DJ program catalogue of approved tracks so we would know the request is in the approved catalogue, is restricted, or not listed.

  4. are you idiots or what?..why have you banned the channel called "Sinicawho"?..it's not her fault - neither she chose to play that video herself, neither she knew what's going to be shown in the video..besides it's a video from youtube, not pornhub..first of all, how can she know what's the content of the video, n second, how can she expect something improper, especially when it's from a site like youtube?..it was i who ordered this video for her and others to watch, to be precise: "Miss Bashful X DBBD- Short King Spring" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83tp9wyHpfM, just like i ordered "Eartheater -…

  5. It would be nice if we could have a default setting (toggle) to suspend channel redeems during a hype train.

    some redeems may be great for a hype train, and others may ruin an experience in either direction

  6. Give us the ability to add subtitles into clips, let us be able to cut out a middle section of a clip to make it flow better. For instance, if I need 15 seconds of a 20 second clip and need to cut out 5 seconds in between let me be able to do that.

  7. Would be cool for the bonus points to add up automatically. Simply make it so that Channel Points add up automatically so that we don't have to constantly click the small button on mobile or on web page. For example: In the Music Community, they stream for hours on end and sometimes you just want to lurk and listen to the music and it would be nice for the points to add up too. Thanks! Cheers everyone!

  8. I'm trying to get in shape. I lost weight long ago. I want to make a video game stream. I wanted to do exercises when people use points. I think this can help many streamers get started. We learn how to code simple things. Custom icons, etc. It would be a good thing. It doesn't make money. Maybe it should be for all streamers? Many streamers feel that the interface is empty. You can't really do anything.

  9. Being able to set a category for a Channel Point redeem to be active. Helpful for those who are forgetful & leave redeems for games active when they can't be applied to a different stream.

    For example, if I play The Sims and want to have a redeem to allow viewers to add their character in game, I can set the redeem to activate when the game category matches, but hide when I'm streaming a different game/category.

  10. I've had an idea for a long while which could make the channel points better. For example I think their should be unlimited channel point slots and alongside with that it would be very good if you could organize certain channel points into a folder. For example say if I had third-party channel points which if you could purchase it with your points it makes a sound effect, so for that it would be placed into a folder called "Sound Effects" alongside with other sound effects.

  11. 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,…

  12. 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!!!

  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 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…

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.…

  20. 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.
