This will be extremely helpful for any extensions where interactions become available conditionally, and the viewer might otherwise not notice that they can do something! Reminded of the Borderlands 3 extension which had conditional interactions that could have been more engaging if viewers were told when they could participate.
Many possible applications:
- unique interactions become available whenever something happens in a integrated game, and viewers are alerted to try them: think Cult of the Lamb help/hinder but without the screen-eating overlay
- activities can be started by the streamer via live config, and viewers are alerted to participate: think about an RPG battle, where streamer DM starts an encounter and moves become available
- digital rewards become periodically available to claim, and viewers are alerted to claim them: think collectible stickers earned for time spent or special eventsOur use case as a specific example: Viewers opt-in to track their time spent in the channel. Rewards are earned at cumulative intervals for time spent. As-is, viewer has to look at the extension to notice their reward is ready to claim. Would be much smoother to alert them.

Differentiating bot announcements by color and presentation has been insanely helpful in reducing chat-read confusion and missed messages... on the site. Mobile users are missing out.
