Channel points

Channel points let your viewers earn a loyalty currency by watching your channel and spend it on rewards you create. See the viewer guide for how earning works.

Availability

Channel points must be enabled platform-wide before they’re available. When they are, you opt in for your own channel from Studio → Channel points. If you don’t see that page, the feature isn’t live on this deployment yet.

Turning on points

From Studio → Channel points you can:

• Enable points for your channel.
• Give your points a custom name (e.g. “Gold”, “Gems”) and upload a custom icon.
• Pause / resume redemptions when you need to.

What you control vs. what’s fixed

• You control your reward catalogue and per-reward rules (cost, limits, approval).
• You don’t control the earn rates — how fast viewers earn from watching, the follow bonus, bonus chests, subscriber multipliers, and watch-streak bonuses are all set platform-wide so earning is consistent and fair across channels.

Rewards

Your channel starts with a few built-in rewards (such as highlighting a message, a temporary emote-only unlock, and a stream alert). You can adjust their cost and settings, and add your own custom rewards up to a total of 50.

For each custom reward you can set:

• Title and description, cost, and a background colour.
• Requires approval — send the redemption to your queue instead of fulfilling it instantly.
• Viewer input — ask the viewer to type something, with your own prompt.
• Cooldown between redemptions, a per-stream limit, and a per-viewer limit.

Approving redemptions

Rewards marked requires approval land in your approval queue on the same page. You can accept, reject, or refund each one — rejecting or refunding returns the viewer’s points.
