Channel Point Rewards

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.

Viewers can earn channel points by participating in the chat, watching the stream for a certain amount of time, or completing specific actions set up by the streamer, such as following or subscribing to their channel. Channel point rewards provide a way for viewers to interact with the streamer and feel more connected to the community
