Channel point rewards are customizable and can include things like exclusive emotes, shoutouts, personalized messages, access to private streams or chats, or even the ability to influence the stream by suggesting game choices or challenges. Streamers can set different point costs for each reward and can also set limits on how many times a viewer can redeem a specific reward.

Channel point rewards provide a way for viewers to interact with the streamer and feel more connected to the community
