  1. Have the easy animate animations for emotes (shake, rave, roll, spin, slide in/out) as a channel point reward option, so the viewers of the channel can anmiate every emote

  2. Mi idea es que se puedan editar los puntos de canal, y eso me refiero a la cantidad recibida.

    Por ejemplo cuando das follow, normalmente da 200 puntos de canal por seguir al streamer, pero me gustaría que eso se pueda editar, como que al dar follow puedas hacer que los espectadores reciban 500 puntos.

    O que los subs al suscribirse puedas darle 10000 puntos por hacerlo.

    También la cantidad de puntos de canal, osea modificar el tiempo que debemos estar viendo el stream para que nos den puntos y también poder modificar esos puntos.

    Lo que estoy diciendo lo…

  4. Sometimes I would like to have game/category specific rewards, like for example in Rimworld I would like to have a reward that viewers can redeem me to create them (use their nickname) in the game.

    It would be nice that I could create bunch of different rewards that would be automatically available only when I am live in specific category, and I wouldn't need to go through them manually.

    Also rearranging the list of the rewards would be REALLY good! As I would want some of the more popular ones to appear at the top of the list and some…

  5. The Twitch point ToS says "Points cannot otherwise be exchanged for items that have value outside of the website" but i have seen several screenshots of Twitch personnel giving the "OK" for streamers to offer their merch as a reward. If merch Items are allowed it should say it in the ToS.

  6. I'd like to have the ability to reset everyone's channel points on my channel manually or automatically (daily, weekly, monthly) like the bits and sub gift leaderboard.

    Also i'd like to see more options. Being able to activate emote only chat automatically for a given amount of time after using channel points etc.

    Heya! Wanted to let you know I've moved this suggestion to our new Channel Point Rewards category. 

    Have a great day!

  7. Currently, people who use pointing devices that do not have scrollwheels can only see the first 3 items in the channel rewards popout in their entirety. Everything below that is either completely or mostly hidden from them. This is a known issue. This was not always the case. According to another poster, scrollbars used to be there for all streams, now it is hit and mostly miss. There have been multiple instances of this issue that I found posted by others, yet you are apparently ignoring those since they aren't getting enough upvotes, you don't want to admit making a…

  8. It would be great to have Channel Reward Variants that a viewer can pick from after selecting a reward. I have things like different camera filters and background images that viewers can change. Point Rewards like this require user input to communicate to the streamer (or integrated software) which choice the viewer would like. However, a typo can break integrated/automated features and abusing the user input wastes the reward and can lead to awkward situations. Setting up "selections" of variants to choose from after selecting a reward could allow for limited user input which can lead to flawless execution of…

  9. Currently we have certain limitations of channel point rewards, and what we can do with these rewards. If I wanted to currently implement a channel reward like, "Take a Break for 1 Minute," with different consecutive duration, I would have to make a series of different rewards for essentially the same channel point reward.

    It would be very beneficial to build upon the current rewards and offer a "scaling point" feature. Perhaps a slider, that scales with another value and allows followers to interact even further with the channel point interface.

    E.g.
    1 channel point = 1 min, 2 channel…

  10. Allow us to set a "Subscribers only" option for Channel Point redemptions. Like say I only want Tier 3 Subs to be able to redeem "Pick my next stream" reward, I could set it to you have to be a tier 3 sub to click it....they would be able to SEE it as a non sub, but to USE it they have to be a tier 3 sub

  11. The rate at which people earn points is extremely low. If a viewer were to follow a streamer, have a watch streak from watching 2 consecutive streams for 2 hours each, cheer, and actively click every chest that appeared, they'd be able to contribute the max amount of 2,000 to a community goal 1 time. Then have to consecutively watch more. That's a lot to just participate in a community and can deter people from using channel points. After the 1st cheer and sub of the month, channel point "income" dwindles. People have lives and a watch streak 4 or…

  12. Make the channel points area at the bottom of chat window clear after a watch streak has been earned. A lot of the time it gets stuck on whatever streak I'm on which means the little 15 minutes of watching box doesn't show up and I have to refresh every time to clear the watch streak notification.

  13. A streamer should be able to award channel points to members of their community.

    If members of their community provide a valuable resource, participate in challenges or games, channel points can serve as a non-monitary reward.

    As it stands, the streamer can do these things with 3rd party bot services. These abilities should be native to Twitch, and not be "done better" by a 3rd party.

  14. I'd love to have the ability to have a custom redemption limit for the 'Per User Per Stream' channel point option. We currently have a cooldown per channel point redeem as a whole community but what I'm requesting is that instead of e.g. once per user per stream redemption limit, I'd like for the ability to customise the individual redemptions 1 redeem per user per week/month/custom time to really create some hype and build excitement and novelty around the channel point reward.

  15. The Power-ups that were recently added are interesting, but I'm baffled by the choice to make these a paid feature when default channel point rewards already exist, within the same UI, as an avenue that could have been taken to deliver these same features instead, especially since we haven't gained any new default channel point rewards in a while.
    Implementing them as channel point rewards instead of their own feature would resolve every complaint people have about Power-Ups:

    -Streamers can already choose whether to leave any default channel rewards are enabled or disabled. This alone would solve a lot of…

  16. A few years ago, you launched the "Boost this Stream" feature. Thanks to channel points, viewers were supposedly able to boost the current stream so it could be seen in the Twitch main suggestions feed.

    However, I never saw this feature appear whatever the channel size I watched the stream. It's a pity because this feature sounds great. Not only it would make the channel points very useful but it also would help the little channels to get visibility efficiently. Of course, in order to make it fair you would have to adapt the required amounts of points in terms…

  17. It's fun to have a channel point redeem or streamer option to temporarily ban/timeout a friendly chatter as a joke, but it currently comes with consequences like losing moderator status and unfollowing the streamer. A joke ban/timeout that does nothing else would be a fun feature for streamers to have.

  19. Specifically, rewards with a global "can be redeemed every X minutes" setting should have their coodown set back to 0 if they are rejected.

    It probably works to start the cooldown as soon as they are redeemed, and just let it continue if the reward is Completed.
