So I'm no expert in this sort of thing, so don't crucify me if there's any big problems with the idea but.

Would there be any scope in making channel points more valuable, so that you could spend them on actual things - perhaps even a twitch browser shop where you could buy various cosmetics to enhance your name or badges, emotes too, or directly support your favourite streamers by buying products they offer with channel points too.

I see this as having benefits for all parties, that's streamers, twitch and viewers too.

Streamers would have more concurrent viewers because people would be grinding channel points, twitch could take a cut from any items sold in the shop via channel points, and viewers would get cool items or cosmetics as a reward for their dedicated viewing.

As an avid user of twitch I get quite addicted to watching my channel points go up as I invest time into hanging out on my favourite streams.

I would have thought you'd have to limit predictions in some way as that can massive inflate people's points, or dump them, so there would be ways to abuse that if you wanted to. A reset, or a "fresh start" of channel points would also probably be needed if you wanted to participate in the system, you could just have it as a setting on a twitch user's profile such as "display all time channel points / v.2 channel points). I've specified that part because I'm sure a lot of people are proud of their current channel points and wouldn't want to see them wiped. Without the new era of channel points people, or day I say, bots that had already accumulated thousands of channel points over the years could dominate the shop with purchases.

For this to actually have a monetary value would it be possible to make channel points a crypto currency? You could grind a small amount by watching, but by predictions and spending your own money in the shop you could boost your points if you wanted too. I really don't know enough about crypto to speculate further about that, but just an idea. I'm sure twitch could have advertisements on the shop too.

Anyway, thanks for reading, all feedback is welcome.

The Reward Selection Popup is way too narrow to provide an overview of existing Rewards. On channel without Sub, I am able to see 3 in a row and 2 rows in total (with a minor cut already on the bottom). With a sub on a channel, the lower row is not readable anymore.

My suggestion is to
a) make the popup simply bigger / higher. I've selected it, my intention is to view it, so make it viewable.
b) make the popup resizable. There is no need to "find the perfect height" now. Let each change it to their liking. It does not have to be remembered, but it would be a plus.

There are quite a lot of issues that the mobile app has that are somewhat out of your team’s control, and I understand that. However, there are a few things that I think could improve the experience while using it. One of them is to add an option to display a small “claim points” icon in the corner when you have the stream in full screen. Currently, it’s easy to forget to claim the channel points every 15 minutes, mostly because you either have to be watching the stream vertically (which is suboptimal), or you have to have the chat overlay obstruct 40% of your screen. So, if those of us who enjoy lurking in streams on mobile devices, that would be a nice addition. Thanks!

I have been noticing an odd behavior where a streamer runs a channel point prediction. For the duration of time before a Moderator or the Streamer end the prediction by selecting the outcome, the amount bet on each side remains the same. Reloading the browser does not change the displayed statistics (amount bet on each side, number of betters, highest bet leaders, etc.).

However, when the streamer/mods end the bet, the pool sometimes changes and one side will increase by some amount of points. I find this strange because I have noticed the WINNING side of the prediction is always the side that increases in all instances of this I have seen. I have seen this happen around 6-7 times now.

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 5 for channel points isn't going to take priority. Viewers need more ways to earn. There's clipping, points per 100 bits, subbing, hosting, letting mods and streamers award points, or just increasing the rate of earning.

Streamers put effort into creating unique & fun ideas for channel points, but that means nothing if their viewers can't use it.

Hello.

For some reason, the maximum amount of channel point rewards a streamer can have is 50. I have so many ideas on things to implement on my stream, but it has reached a plateau and I don't think it is necessary for that to happen. Could you possibly make it so that we can have more than 50? I also find it kind of insulting that the Twitch UI only tells me "There was an error implementing your channel point reward. Please try again" when I try to add a new one after having 50; it doesn't even tell you that 50 is max, I had to figure that out on my own. In my eyes, this is a pretty silly restriction that limits streamers' creativity and I hope that you can do something about it.

Have a good day.

Hey, the other day came to my mind, that you should be able to transfer my points, for example, from Asmongold stream to EsfandTV stream.

This is just an example, let me explain.

I have a lot of points on Asmongold channel, but not on EsfandTV. Since the channel points on Asmongold channel are useless, it would be cool to use them on "X" channel.

But since a lot of people will not like this, for example, there are channels that give "free subs" for "X" channel points. The thing, is that as there are features to create groups/teams on twitch, you could share those points within the streamers group.

My english is not that good, but i think everyone can understand without of trouble. Any questions regarding the post, please let me know.

It would be awesome if you would implement the ability to attach sounds to Twitch Points redemptions via a web/browser source and give us the option to upload our own graphics to maintain the theme of our streams while the alerts go off - like how StreamLabs allows us to customize our own alerts.

Why would this be a good feature?

For example, via Streamlabs, I have alerts for both Donations and Bits when someone wants to spin my Wheel of Whamboozle. But I also want those who can't contribute monetarily to have the ability to Spin it based on Twitch Points they accrue.

Let's face it, channel loyalty isn't only measured monetarily. It's also measured by time spent in channel. So let's give them the same feeling that those who donate/cheer get with something other than a chat notification. Let's give them the bells & whistles, too.
