  1. Channel Points to pay for additional Chat Poll votes like bits, exactly what it says on the tin! Right now the polls are a really fun feature and the channel points have a lot of potential in being integrated with an already existing feature, this time giving newer viewers an incentive to stick around instead of only favoring the viewers with money.

  2. I would like to suggest a feature that allows streamers to make their live broadcasts visible only to users who follow the channel.

    This would serve multiple purposes, including:

    Preventing stream sniping, especially in games like Fall Guys, where some viewers intentionally join the game just to interfere (e.g., grabbing or chasing the streamer to make them lose).

    Blocking access to non-followers or anonymous viewers, who might not be part of the community or who just lurk without supporting the stream.

    Protecting content from being recorded without the streamer's consent, as some users watch purely to capture or misuse content.

  3. 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.

  4. We need to have real control of the channel points. Give, remove and block channel points to users.

    1º/ To reward behaviors and be able to develop our own "CP" earning systems. Minigames, etc. With unique style.

    2º/ To penalize its misuse, and have the ability to deny points to problematic spectators.

    3º/ To make the channel points system compatible with hundreds of applications that contribute games and add-ons awarded with points.

    4º/ And to be able to transfer all existing Loyalty systems for many years (StreamLabs, StreamElements, etc, etc) to the twitch channel points system.

  6. The ability to create custom rewards and have those rewards tied to either specific game or specific subscription would be neat.

    Basically have global rewards that apply to all games then have some specific points that only appear/occur when playing certain categories (games).

    Same with roles. We could create custom rewards that would only apply to VIPs, Followers, or to Subscribers, etc.

  7. Right now a user has to first click on a reward to see the cooldown timer. It would be much more convenient and better UX if the user could see which rewards were available, which ones are on cooldown and what the cooldown timer is inside the channel point rewards window.

  8. Now that Point Rewards can be created, updated, or deleted via the API streamers may be unaware (or simply forget) that an integration with their account is set up to modify point rewards.

    An integration could change something on behalf of a streamer, and they may not know what is making that change.

    A "Managed by XXXX App" could be added to the point reward page, showing the name of the application that updated that reward.

  9. It would be great to have the ability as a Mod to disable spending channel points during a specific situation. I have been noticing in the Role Play community that when alot of hate comes into the channel and we go into sub mode only. The haters will wait until they have enough points to post a message in sub mode just to throw Salt or the spam some of the cheaper options to distract the streamer. I know that there is emote only mode but that also feels like a punishment for the subscribers that are not doing anything…

  10. 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…

  11. Would be great to have a running tally (lifetime totals) of Channel Point Rewards, perhaps in the left hand bar underneath the "current requests" amount, like this:

    AMA
    3 requests
    12 overall (or 12 lifetime? Something like that)

    That way we could easily see which rewards are popular, and which ones we might want to swap out for something else.

  12. The redemption cooldown time is fantastic but I think we need a 'seconds' option in the drop down menu along side 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days'.

    For those of us that, for example, wish to have a 30 second cooldown on channel point redemptions

  13. I would like to see Twitch implement a Channel Points command. For example "/cp **" where ** is the name of the reward.

    We make extensive use of the Channel Points system and have about 40 rewards. Our regulars have said that it is sometimes difficult to find the reward they are looking for in a timely manner in order to affect what happens on-stream through a 3rd party application called Lioran Board.

    Channel Points are a great tool for viewer engagement, but the method of finding a reward needs to be easy and streamlined. Not clunky and inconvenient.…

  14. Twitch streamers should have the ability to change the highlight color of the "highlight message channel points feature." This would be a setting that allowed full control over what color the highlight would be. If the highlight was a dark color, the text would be light and if the highlight was light, the text would be dark. This allows chat to look slightly different from stream to stream, allowing for a more unique look to chat. It's makes chat slightly more personalised to the streamers liking.

  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. For some sorts of rewards, it would be convenient to allow someone to redeem the same thing more than once. If the user could choose a quantity, this would be extremely convenient and useful.

    Example: Obtain tickets in a giveaway using channel points, for 100 points per ticket. Rather than have people spend 100 points at a time, spamming chat with each individual redemption, someone could choose to spend 1600 points for 16 tickets.

  17. Change the Page Title from just "Twitch" to "Twitch Channel Rewards" on the channel rewards popout page.

    At the moment streamers using scenes with windows capture in OBS, SLOBS etc can't have multiple window sources open since the page title in the window is just a generic "twitch". It needs something unique we can match the title to so we can use it for a scene whilst streaming to show the redeemed custom rewards live on stream.

  18. Right now, all custom events require being fulfilled in the rewards manager, however, I believe there would be cases where this process would not be necessary. A number of people, such as myself have already worked on programatically tying these events to do actions elsewhere. Instead of having to, manually or automatically marking these off through the API, it would make more sense if these events did not have any entries within the queue

  19. Having a Channel point leaderboard visible to everyone and allowing viewers to opt in to show off how many channel points they have (some lurkers won't want to be displayed on the leaderboard) kind of like how there are gifted sub and bit leader boards this will encourage people to stick around more to climb the leaderboards (could also make it optional for monthly channel points/ all time)

  20. Just have a search button in the channel points, so we can easily find the one we want to use by entering its name, instead of scrolling down them and trying to find it like that.
