  1. Channel Points messages appear in chat, but don't show up in VODs, and aren't available in the Chat API. It would be good to at least have the messages appear in VODs to help provide context for what's happening, and even better if it was treated as another chat message, so it could show up in the chat API as well.

  2. Many Twitch viewers open multiple tabs at once—either to support friends, earn channel points, or boost viewership. But most don’t realize two key things:

    1- You can only earn channel points on two streams at a time.

    2- Twitch likely doesn’t count your view if the tab is backgrounded, muted, or inactive for too long.

    Despite this, Twitch provides no feedback to the user. There’s no indication which streams are earning points, and no clarification when they’re not contributing anything at all.

    The result is that users keep extra tabs open expecting benefits that don’t exist. Twitch wastes bandwidth and…

  3. Please consider allowing channel points to expire.

    This encourages viewers to return to streams to keep gaining points. It also ensures viewers who have not been part of your community for several months or years are not privy to channel point rewards when they haven't been active members of your community.

  4. Hello I have watched and lost a watch streak of 114 while I was there watching the XboxOn stream and lost it all to see that the watch streak is reset to 1 and nothing to protect it.

    This needs to be rectified as many others have lost there streak despite being there watching and chatting.

    I had a reference case for this and they asked me to send it over so here it is reference to Case#08460948

    This isn’t a great user experience as many won’t come back if this happens on other channels that they have watched for…

  5. Some streamers really enjoy the Gigantify Emote feature for bits, some don't. I have heard from some streamers and myself that we want to have a feature for some of these power-ups to be as channel points too.

  6. Channel Point Redemptions should offer a bit payment alternative that the streamer can toggle to allow for a channel redemption to be exclusively bits or channel points or both. For Example: If a viewer doesn't have enough channel points to trigger redemption we should have the option to give the viewer the ability to trigger that redemption with a bit value set by the streamer instead. Currently I am using a third party software that can trigger alerts and media on my OBS Studio with channel point redemptions. The benefit of adding the ability to charge bits for redemptions would…

  7. Right now "Likely" and "Possible" ban evaders flagged as Restricted can still use Channel Point redemptions instead of typing in chat, like spamming redeems to be annoying or using a TTS redeem that will speak their unfiltered messaged

  8. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. 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,…

  11. Please fix or add as a Feature for Console Streamers to be able to view redeemed Channel Points, since so far this can only be reviewed via PC.

    We need a way to see when they have been redeemed, also on phone.

  12. 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.

  13. Please add a user channel point cool down for ALL redeems. There's an issue with people coming into chat and one user redeeming every redemption at once. Say user 1 redeems, they now have to wait x amount of time before redeeming while user 2 can still redeem if they haven't in the set cooldown time.

    Adding a universal cooldown for all redemptions for users will help limit this spam.

  14. Dear Twitch xoxo,

    Is there a possibility to setup Community Challenges WITH channel points rewards as a project basis?

    Example :
    I wanted my viewers to build a ship together , I setup a community challenges with Channel Points rewards JUST contribute for that particular community challenges.
    That channel point rewards only can claim once by 1 viewer (eg . ship core) then the other part will be (eg . ship weapons).
    the total rewards points for all the one time rewards = total community challenges points needed to complete the project.

    I believe this can be used in many…

  16. It would be very useful to get for moderators to be able to accept/deny channel points redeems directly from chat without having to open the request queue or modview. Like a small button saying ACCEPT and DENY just below the redeem.

    For moderators who work with a lot of requests every hour this would mean managing the redeems a lot faster and easier.

  17. Additional emotes that cost channel points to use. You can buy a number of uses of an emote, and you'll only be able to use it that many times unless you buy more. Host sets the price, users get to flex their channel points and display their channel wealth in chat.

  18. The idea of Watch Streaks is good, until a bug or some other event happens. 3 digit stream streaks can be lost forever. At that point, the notification becomes a frustrating, annoying reminder and, for me, it would be more pleasant to disable the Watch Streak feature entirely. I don't care about the channel points. I just want the ability to remove the feature from either a specific stream or even all streams from my (viewer) side. I do not want to ask the streamer to disable the notifications, I just don't want to participate any more.

  19. To encourage live-viewer conversion from YouTube, streamers and mods should be allowed to grant channel points to viewers who are willing to switch over to Twitch for live streams. This gives viewers a concrete reward for choosing to participate live rather than watching later.

    This benefits Twitch by increasing live viewership overall. People who prefer VODs will still watch on YouTube regardless, but viewers who are open to watching live often just need a small push. Offering channel points creates that push and gives them a reason to engage live and continue participating through loyalty systems like MixItUp or StreamElements.

  20. Currently you can toggle the input field to require input from the redeemer. However, I'd like the option for the input to be optional.

    For example, I have a Lurk redemption. People sometimes use that redemption, but if they want to explain their lurk or simply want to send a nice message along with it, they will still have to type in chat. This may indicate that they're not fully lurking, and that they'd like a response. Having an optional field however would indicate that they're in full lurk mode and are not participating in chat. At the same time,…
