Finally some decent ides, definitely going to use the slang on, but scottish slang. Im also gonna modify it a bit for another one "teach me Gaelic", scottish gaelic is an endangered language and people already ask me to teach them words on stream so hopefully making it a channel point reward will prompt people to ask more often and I can do a bit more towards repopularising my countries language :) Thank you so much for these ideas!
thanks dude, great ideas. A follower told me i should implement these kind of things in my streams and you had some really nice options, plus gave me a couple of ideas of my own. Changed the cursed one to a simple Fail and i added my face with 2 thumps up as an emoji for them. Thanks for the hard work!
There's a couple redeems I just added that I'm really proud of. One of them is just 1 channel point but's meant for community engagement. It's called story time and basically I turn it on at a random point in the stream, and not every stream so it's a surprise. Once it's redeemed I tell a story from my life. That story could be real or fake and after I'm done telling it I run a prediction thing get chat to bet on whether it was true or false. The other one is a "pump me up" redeem where I switch to a new scene with like background music and I give the redeemer a short motivational speech.
@@StreamScheme Hell yeah, that would be an honor! thank you so much. I hope I get to see it the first time it's used but I know I don't catch much of your streams.
I didn't mention the giant goals, such as 100,000 or 1,000,000 point redeems for things like shaving your head because I wanted these to be achievable for anyone..... and I also wanted to save some for my comment, so giant goals like those are great as well for individuals in chat who like a challenge!
Eljay, you know we can't shout out or pin your comment like we said we would for people, right? Like you're in the video, we need to leave it for other streamers.
I made affiliate this morning and I'm SO excited for the channel points/rewards/challenges/etc. There are so many good ideas here and I'm definitely snagging at LEAST a few. On another one of this channel's videos, Eljay mentioned having a channel point redemption for something along the lines of "Hi! I'm New!" To encourage participation from viewers. That one is also getting implemented :D
I started randomly featuring my dogs when I first started streaming bc I think they're so cute and then some of my chatters would ask to see them so I made channel points for a dog check and one to give my dogs a treat in their honor for a bit more points
I have a nice redeem. For 5k points I print something small with a 3d printing pen for the viewer and place it in the back of the stream for about a month. 😊
I watch a girl who has a point redemption for sing mode, where she has to sing everything she says for the next like 3 minutes 😂 it's incredibly chaotic
As a German that is constantly being told that I have 0 accent, I took inspiration from your Irish accent and let my chat force me to "spiek in zeh tscherman eccent leik zhey taught as tu spiek in school" - instant redeem the first time I used it and my viewers got a kick out of it - thanks for the idea.
I love this!! My chat gets a kick out of my “pick any accent” channel point. I let them pick ANY accent and a phrase I have to say. It’s provided some really funny moments 😂
Can't lie you've made me a content creator and streamer improve so much! you've made me take this into a profession and take it seriously... so, thank you I LOVE YOU
After watching your new content, I can totally tell a difference in your comfort with being on camera. In these older videos, u seem uncomfortable while talking, compared to the new stuff where you seem to be genuinely having a good time. Love your content man, thanks for the help and inspiration to stream!!
One that I came up with while watching the video was "Say a random fact!" For 2000 points I say a random piece of trivia that I happen to know or just learned. Can be redeemed three times a stream. SInce I just hit affiliate and just got the ability to use channel points, I think that it would be a good one to use.
I'd also add that a Chat Highlight redeem would be great for small streamers. I've noticed that for some reason, chatters like their messages big and bright, even if the stream reads it regardless.
I streams Sims 4 and I have a 5K reward where my viewers can create a sim and add it to my neighbourhood. I've got 10 so far, there are some very weird creations
one of mine is Dab against my will to where i have to dab instantly to where i have to put down the controller which can make me mess up for them its all about timing and when i speedrun its hilarious
Very glad to see someone finally talk about channel points. I really like your tips and creative ideas! I spent quite some time thinking about funny and original rewards for my stream. (Even creating original icons and Mini-Intros when someone claims them) But the best thing about those rewards is, that they help you to entertain your audience. I, sometimes struggle to be funny or entertaining for like 100% of the time and when those rewards get claimed, it‘s always a cheap but very effective way to entertain yourself and the people watching and I‘m very thankful for that! :D My most liked rewards so far are „Random Reward“ - where they have the chance to get a random channel points reward or even a game key and „One_Time_Clean“ - where I have to clean my room for 1 minute xD But keep up your good work man, looking forward to your next videos!
I've got the LIFX Beams behind me on the wall - I got them working with my stream deck - so someone could redeem channel points to change my background lighting, and all I need to do is press a button on my stream deck - low distraction, and users can interact with my physical environment :D + a good timeout so we don't induce seizures xD
1:57 Thank you for making this fact clear. I hate it when people make a video about a topic and when you follow the steps you realize that you can't do it.
Me personally, I like subtle enhancements. For example: I took the already existing "Highlight My Message" redeem and added some functionality to it, so that now the message will be displayed on screen via a visual alert and will also be read out loud by a text-to-speech voice. It's a nice way for people to directly interact with your stream, and to grab your attention should you be that person who tends to miss a lot of chat messages by accident (even if they were highlighted in the regular fashion). I also have two other redeems that make me put on a voice changer effect for about 5 minutes (easily achievable with free OBS audio filter plugins) as well as a "No Cursing" mode where I have to keep it family friendly for a certain amount of time. Of course, this all depends on your own kind of personality, so if you were never the swearing type of guy to begin with, this won't do you any good. So I guess before even looking into possible rewards, as a streamer you should look into yourself and what makes you *YOU* so that you can take that as a base for things. Anyways, thanks for the video and some fantastic ideas! :)
Thanks eljay,... so a few days since I first watched this and now returning to let you know how its going... ive had my simracing stream including those I was on discord with make me sing for 5mins (Whilst driving a race car in VR around a race track), and then silence me for 5mins whilst they are on discord laughing there asses off about essentially taking over the stream. Much hilarity was had as they knew I was crying on the inside, the talking thing comes perhaps too easy for me :D My biggest supporter the wife (who you advised are good people to have on your side and help out early on) already topped out and redeemed the giant 35k channel point goal to choose the game stream and has made me purchase sims4 to stream in the future during my any game day. With her and my regulars all laughing there asses off,... Community wise, since my New years fitness res was to use beat saber daily and stream it, the community goal is titled 'beat saber death' and is to make me play an entire stream in expert+ difficulty, now given I tend to die after attempting 1 single song in expert plus my amazing viewers are of course already now over 66% completed of the goal.... Seriously though the above is just funny and engaging as expected and people do seem to be loving it! Thankyou for the tips!
Disclaimer: twitch to me is purely a hobby, I have so much fun playing and chatting live with the small few that actually watch me and it’s such an exhilarating feeling, this may be different to a more dedicated and hard core streamer. A lot of my channel niches (see my profile pic) are based around my cat, I love him a lot, my community loves him too. Whenever I’m home (not often) I try and include a “catcam” point redeem when if it’s redeemed I’ll drop whatever it is I’m doing and go to find my cat and stick him on camera. It’s always entertaining and who doesn’t love to see a cute fluffy companion every now and then? If you have pets on your own maybe try it out sometimes to treat your viewers :)
I am not an affiliate/partner, but I use the loyalty points system from Streamlabs. Still coming up with new stuff for it. Thanks for some options I can work with.
thanks for all your videos! they have been helping me setup and navigate my twitch account! i appreciate it ^^ i had to comment because u mentioned asmr haha xD and i wasn't expecting that!
I've created a channel point reward I call announce yourself that I'm super proud of. Using lioranboard, I've made it so that when someone presses it a short clip pops up on screen. If it's the first time that they press it a "welcome, you must be new, it's nice to have you" video of me pops up, each future time a video saying "welcome back, I'm glad you're here" comes up. But what makes it really cool and what my viewers love is that I've made it so that they can provide me with their own clips / sound bites / etc. And then if they've done so I've set it up so that when they announce themselves their unique clip plays instead. People love to come by and announce themselves, and once they have it's super easy for me to strike up a conversation with them. Ive also added a new channel point called "Create a 'high quality' announcement for me" which if they redeem instead of a clip they provide, I'll make them one for them using a green screen and they're intentionally bad :p I've also got one more that my viewers like cause they like my dog, it's called "Loki cam" and it turns on a camera over my dogs dog bed for 10 seconds. They love it :p Eljay, I'm not saying but I'm just saying, if you want your own announcement, you just let me know ;)
I have a handful of different channel point redemption, but the most popular by far is DABercise. When it is redeemed I have to dab non stop for 10 seconds and increases by 10 seconds every time it is redeemed. It resets at the beginning of the month, but everyone in my chat loves to see me dab like crazy and it actually is a great workout once you get over a minute
You can mix things up by adding sound effects to redeems and reactions that can be redeemed by each viewer once per stream. Things such as 'Likes the stream' if you started streaming on a different platform then moved to twitch. It could be redeemed for as little as 1 point so it doesn't take up a lot of their points to do it.
One of my channel points redeems is 'common gear only' so when I play my main game spellbreak chat can have me only use the weakest gear and see if I can win! People love seeing it and always brings hype in chat when I get a win with it! -Eldegold-
here my first idea for interactions. "evertime i get so called points i will do my best yoda impression with your name"... ( i do fantastic yoda impressions)
Literally watching all of your videos lately but my favorite channel point redeem I have is changing the color of my RGB lights in my pc for the stream!
I've been watching through all of your videos today and definitely will be getting some use out of some of these channel point ideas tonight in my stream - thanks!
Using your tips I was able to hit affiliate in just a few months, so thank you so much! Gonna start thinking about good music redeem options. Thanks again!
One channel point that seems to do well on my channel is when I play Just Dance, chat can redeem the 'boyfriend has to dance with me' reward. Bf doesn't like dancing and a few days ago he made me dance to one of my banned songs (also a channel point reward) and then someone in chat helped me take revenge and made him dance with me to a very intense song 😂
Heine_TV on Twitch here! One of my points redemptions is I put on my Mandalorian helmet for about 3 minutes and switch my voice filters over to that of Dinn Djarin's! It's pretty warm in the helmet and I have to boost my headset's output really high just so I can hear what I'm doing but eventually I'm gonna install a mini bluetooth speaker inside to hear instead!
yosefein :) i like the idea of redeeming channel points for a “shoot your shot”. like you gotta successfully make your next shot/kill (2k or fps) or take a shot.
Just recently found your channel. I find these videos very useful. I have a channel reward where I have to use my acting talents to act out a monologue.
I am planning to have a tarot card draw redemption but also to have an icebreaker to engage and connect: Two truths and a lie. I also currently have sound alerts as a redemption and people throw out bagpipes out of nowhere and we crack up every time.
With the "Timeout" redeems - I don't really get it either, but my chat is full of gremlins, and they adore it. XD I made a "Timeout Yourself" redeem (self-explanatory), a "Timeout Another Viewer" (this can be turned down if used to bully someone, but I've yet to see that), and a "Timeout Me, Not Them!" redeem, for when someone is feeling altruistic and wants to save a victim of the previous two redeems. It's made for some really funny chat interactions!
Here's an idea for streamers who are not natively English, or streamers who speak multiple languages: Stream in a different language for a certain amount of time. In my case I called it "Praat Nederlands met me", in reference to a song title, which forces me to stream in Dutch for 5 minutes. It's pretty popular in my channel, even though most of my audience does not speak a word Dutch. Another fun one is "Flip the controller", which is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, I also flip mouse and keyboard when I play a pc game. Pro-tip: For the love of all that is holy, put a cooldown on this puppy, or someone may force you to stream with your controller upside down for 36 minutes while you were already ending the stream.
I recently got affiliate and a huge thanks to you I watch a lot of your vids and try to take pointers. I want to add don’t say a specific word for 5 minutes but I’m having a hard time thinking of punishments. Returning channel points is unacceptable lol.
You're amazing. I'm Irish heritage but born in London so don't have the accent. I'd love to use that for channel points as find it hilarious but worried someone could get offended and as I've only just affiliated, just want to be sure it won't cause me problems. I subscribed btw, fantastic content! 👏
Eljay, you are still the only person I pay money to on RUclips. Using your videos and your advice in comments, I hit affiliate today!!! I got you followed on twitch hoping to catch your next stream on the 16th!!!
This is so helpful thankyou! I'm new to this all, I have just reached affiliate and was wondering how you put a limit on how many times things are used as not sure if people are going to spam things XD I feel like such a noob
Since my channel is cat themed (cause my name is PumaCatOOHHH...idk i took inspiration from the old Thundercats cartoons) my point rewards are also cat themed. I wear cat ears on stream and one of my rewards is change my ears and they can choose which ears or I can just switch em out. Another reward is Pack Attack where the redeemer chooses who we raid.
What I use mine for is Sing along workouts and Longer streams I have to do it on the spot. My legs throat and butt kills me after but I really enjoy it. I know that its special but chat loves it
On one channel I follow, a few of us suggested adding a "only speak in puns for two minutes". It hasn't been implemented yet, but the streamer did seem on-board with the idea. I don't know if I can have channel points yet, since I'm not an affiliate yet, but I could see myself doing something similar, like "Only speak Danish for two minutes", since Danish is my native language and I find it strangely awkward so I use English the vast majority of the time on stream...
I'm beginning to order various different things to start my stream, and in the meantime I've been watching your videos, which you're able to make quite entertaining. Using some of your tips, I was able to come up with two original (to my knowledge) channel point ideas. one was to after finishing my current game play dinosaur run (the google Easter egg for when internet goes down), and have the viewers make an over/under prediction for my top score after 3 tries. IDK if this is okay though, as it may be copyrighted. I also came up with one where the viewer gives me two synonyms, and I have to explain the difference between them (for example, the difference between ecstatic and euphoric) in terms of connotation or usage in everyday language. Please let me know if either of these work!
Is there a way to add an audio cue to your channel points when someone redeems them? I know of some streamers where their redeems pop up on stream and make a sound so people know who used it. I cant figure anything like that out.
I take a shot of whiskey while I stream, and what my viewers would do is that they'd stock up points and wait for me to reach a certain point in game, and they would redeem a lot at once. Imagine playing Smash bros semi drunk 😂
I got my twitch affiliate contract about 2 weeks ago, I've only been streaming for 2 months and have been really wracking my brain on taking that plunge into being twitch affiliate, I'd really like to know your stance on how you view the affiliate contract. I know not everyone agrees as Harris Heller says do take it and Devin Nash says don't take it. But that aside!! Your videos have helped me out so much and I love all these ideas for points. Thank you so much for everything!
I watched Devins video so this covers a few of the points he talks about and why I slightly disagree. I also REALLY respect Devin, I think a lot alike to him except my focus is more on the social side of Twitch. Affiliate is great, it is a cancel any time agreement as Devin says, and it gives you access to tools like Channel Points, which are great for engaging new chatters... which is the opposite to what he says. Blaming a tool for not being engaging isn't quite right, if you use points properly they can be HUGE. Did you know when someone follows they get a small amount of channel points and twitch recommends them the cheapest redeem you have? Which I have set to "Say Hi! I Am New! *wave*" and it has been a MASSIVE increase in new chatter engagement. It also unlocks Hype trains, Hype trains which put you on the homepage of Twitch, a hype train is only 3 different people each doing 100 bits ($1) or Giftsubs. Devin talks about how you can lose 50/50 cuts with Twitch and the $100 payout, but if you remove the donation button and focus subs/bits for support then you not only reach the $100 easier but have chances to be advertised on the front page of Twitch for $3 at minimum. You unlock emotes, sub badges, and more that can help community build when used right. The only downsides are that affiliate won’t help you straight away, it is a slow build as people find and enjoy the content, then subscribe/support you if the content is good. AND, you aren’t allowed to multistream meaning you can’t go live on multiple platforms at the same time, however most streamers aren’t doing that anyway. There is the stuff about Twitch "owning" your brand but they can't own your brand, they just own the channel and have control over what you broadcast on it. Banning you, or using your content in their marketing, etc. I can't speak too much on that one, but it won't affect you I'd say.
@@StreamScheme thank you so much! I honestly don't think I would've been able to get to the point where I am now even considering this if it wasn't for you, Devin and Harris. Honestly if it wasn't for you guys I don't think I would've even be inspired to become a streamer. I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you for this. I legit used 3 of your ideas and as I was writting them, many ideas came to me. Probably went up 10 channel points ideas with that video. I enjoy your content, it's great and amazing quality! +1 sub friend
For the community challenge, is it a good idea for me to make it something along the lines of "Streaming with my dog" or "Streaming with my lizard". My community seems to love my pets and I think it might be a good way to get them more involved with using their channel points.
It can be! Just be prepared to obviously say sometimes "Hey! sorry Dog doesn't want to be part of the stream today!" if it isn't feeling it, I've seen other people be called out for "using" pets which I can understand in some situations.

I'm curious what your thoughts are on using channel point redemptions for sound alerts vs using commands or extensions?

My biggest supporter the wife (who you advised are good people to have on your side and help out early on) already topped out and redeemed the giant 35k channel point goal to choose the game stream and has made me purchase sims4 to stream in the future during my any game day. With her and my regulars all laughing there asses off,...
Community wise, since my New years fitness res was to use beat saber daily and stream it, the community goal is titled 'beat saber death' and is to make me play an entire stream in expert+ difficulty, now given I tend to die after attempting 1 single song in expert plus my amazing viewers are of course already now over 66% completed of the goal....
Seriously though the above is just funny and engaging as expected and people do seem to be loving it! Thankyou for the tips!
Sounds like you're smashing it mate! Keep up the hard work! (and thanks for coming to my stream, it means a lot!)
Disclaimer: twitch to me is purely a hobby, I have so much fun playing and chatting live with the small few that actually watch me and it’s such an exhilarating feeling, this may be different to a more dedicated and hard core streamer.
A lot of my channel niches (see my profile pic) are based around my cat, I love him a lot, my community loves him too. Whenever I’m home (not often) I try and include a “catcam” point redeem when if it’s redeemed I’ll drop whatever it is I’m doing and go to find my cat and stick him on camera. It’s always entertaining and who doesn’t love to see a cute fluffy companion every now and then? If you have pets on your own maybe try it out sometimes to treat your viewers :)
I am not an affiliate/partner, but I use the loyalty points system from Streamlabs. Still coming up with new stuff for it. Thanks for some options I can work with.
Your tips are amazing, seriously they are the best, literally helped me hit affiliate in 8 streams!
The community goals race is genius and I'm definitely using that one.
Cheers eljaye! I added some from the collection but also got some ideas from your channel too, appreciate it!
thanks for all your videos! they have been helping me setup and navigate my twitch account! i appreciate it ^^
i had to comment because u mentioned asmr haha xD and i wasn't expecting that!
I laughed out loud at the “like some trench coat wearing freak, I’m gonna reveal all to you” lol.
My twitch name is the same. full_lock
Love your videos man. Helps a ton to someone that is new to stuff.
I am glad the jokes landed! And glad the videos help! Keep it up!
I've created a channel point reward I call announce yourself that I'm super proud of. Using lioranboard, I've made it so that when someone presses it a short clip pops up on screen. If it's the first time that they press it a "welcome, you must be new, it's nice to have you" video of me pops up, each future time a video saying "welcome back, I'm glad you're here" comes up. But what makes it really cool and what my viewers love is that I've made it so that they can provide me with their own clips / sound bites / etc. And then if they've done so I've set it up so that when they announce themselves their unique clip plays instead. People love to come by and announce themselves, and once they have it's super easy for me to strike up a conversation with them. Ive also added a new channel point called "Create a 'high quality' announcement for me" which if they redeem instead of a clip they provide, I'll make them one for them using a green screen and they're intentionally bad :p I've also got one more that my viewers like cause they like my dog, it's called "Loki cam" and it turns on a camera over my dogs dog bed for 10 seconds. They love it :p Eljay, I'm not saying but I'm just saying, if you want your own announcement, you just let me know ;)
3:50 RIP piece of hair
Gone but not forgotten!
I have a handful of different channel point redemption, but the most popular by far is DABercise. When it is redeemed I have to dab non stop for 10 seconds and increases by 10 seconds every time it is redeemed. It resets at the beginning of the month, but everyone in my chat loves to see me dab like crazy and it actually is a great workout once you get over a minute
That sounds like it could be brutal hahaha
@@StreamScheme yeah it is a bit, but its good fun and a good workout haha
You can mix things up by adding sound effects to redeems and reactions that can be redeemed by each viewer once per stream. Things such as 'Likes the stream' if you started streaming on a different platform then moved to twitch. It could be redeemed for as little as 1 point so it doesn't take up a lot of their points to do it.
One of my channel points redeems is 'common gear only' so when I play my main game spellbreak chat can have me only use the weakest gear and see if I can win! People love seeing it and always brings hype in chat when I get a win with it! -Eldegold-
I love it! What a great redeem!
Thank you man! Makes for interesting plays and games as have to go at it at a different angle!
The community race idea is such a genius idea. Thank you for these, mate!
Great info on some important content that often gets overlooked and underutilized, keep it up!
Thanks Chresman! Appreciate the kind words, that's awesome of you!
here my first idea for interactions. "evertime i get so called points i will do my best yoda impression with your name"... (
i do fantastic yoda impressions)
Sounds solid!
Literally watching all of your videos lately but my favorite channel point redeem I have is changing the color of my RGB lights in my pc for the stream!
Oh that's a great one! I have been toying with that lately but changed my mind on it!
I've been watching through all of your videos today and definitely will be getting some use out of some of these channel point ideas tonight in my stream - thanks!
Glad you like them!
Using your tips I was able to hit affiliate in just a few months, so thank you so much! Gonna start thinking about good music redeem options. Thanks again!
I love your dry, straight humor
I've had my own redemptions for awhile now, seeing this video made me want to add the ASMR option.. wish me luck!
Best of luck!
One channel point that seems to do well on my channel is when I play Just Dance, chat can redeem the 'boyfriend has to dance with me' reward. Bf doesn't like dancing and a few days ago he made me dance to one of my banned songs (also a channel point reward) and then someone in chat helped me take revenge and made him dance with me to a very intense song 😂
hahahaha That is quite funny! Hope the DMCA stuff hasn't been too brutal for Just Dance!
@@StreamScheme Up and till now no problems with live content, just no more VODs and clips for us ☹
Heine_TV on Twitch here! One of my points redemptions is I put on my Mandalorian helmet for about 3 minutes and switch my voice filters over to that of Dinn Djarin's! It's pretty warm in the helmet and I have to boost my headset's output really high just so I can hear what I'm doing but eventually I'm gonna install a mini bluetooth speaker inside to hear instead!
your twitch setup tutorial really helps me a lot. Thank you so much for such a great teaching series.
yosefein :) i like the idea of redeeming channel points for a “shoot your shot”. like you gotta successfully make your next shot/kill (2k or fps) or take a shot.
Thanks for the ideas, I am a small streamer that has just hit twitch Affiliate, your videos have really helped me out a lot so thank you very much.
Just recently found your channel. I find these videos very useful. I have a channel reward where I have to use my acting talents to act out a monologue.
Happy to help! Interesting reward! How much does it cost normally?
@@StreamScheme I set it to 70k. Although I still give them little samples here and there
I am planning to have a tarot card draw redemption but also to have an icebreaker to engage and connect: Two truths and a lie. I also currently have sound alerts as a redemption and people throw out bagpipes out of nowhere and we crack up every time.
You're underated asf!
26.5k subs and over 1 million views! I am happy with the support people have given! But I appreciate the kind words :)
With the "Timeout" redeems - I don't really get it either, but my chat is full of gremlins, and they adore it. XD I made a "Timeout Yourself" redeem (self-explanatory), a "Timeout Another Viewer" (this can be turned down if used to bully someone, but I've yet to see that), and a "Timeout Me, Not Them!" redeem, for when someone is feeling altruistic and wants to save a victim of the previous two redeems. It's made for some really funny chat interactions!
Here's an idea for streamers who are not natively English, or streamers who speak multiple languages: Stream in a different language for a certain amount of time.
In my case I called it "Praat Nederlands met me", in reference to a song title, which forces me to stream in Dutch for 5 minutes. It's pretty popular in my channel, even though most of my audience does not speak a word Dutch.
Another fun one is "Flip the controller", which is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, I also flip mouse and keyboard when I play a pc game. Pro-tip: For the love of all that is holy, put a cooldown on this puppy, or someone may force you to stream with your controller upside down for 36 minutes while you were already ending the stream.
I recently got affiliate and a huge thanks to you I watch a lot of your vids and try to take pointers. I want to add don’t say a specific word for 5 minutes but I’m having a hard time thinking of punishments. Returning channel points is unacceptable lol.
I really like your content. It is helping me learn and will hopefully grow
You're amazing. I'm Irish heritage but born in London so don't have the accent. I'd love to use that for channel points as find it hilarious but worried someone could get offended and as I've only just affiliated, just want to be sure it won't cause me problems. I subscribed btw, fantastic content! 👏
If it is all in good natured fun, nobody should get mad!
@@StreamScheme Just dropped you a follow on twitch. Thanks for the amazing content!
Eljay, you are still the only person I pay money to on RUclips. Using your videos and your advice in comments, I hit affiliate today!!! I got you followed on twitch hoping to catch your next stream on the 16th!!!
Hello
This is so helpful thankyou! I'm new to this all, I have just reached affiliate and was wondering how you put a limit on how many times things are used as not sure if people are going to spam things XD I feel like such a noob
ay thanks this helps out a lot. cant wait to see how people use them on tomorrows stream
This is a great channel I am so glad I found your content. Your info is so clean man
Hey that’s kind of you to say mate!
thx man, on the comeup and pumped so far. always coming back to ur vids
I relate to being drowned by chat. xD
The feels!
I've came to this channel for so many answers. I like what your doing !
Since my channel is cat themed (cause my name is PumaCatOOHHH...idk i took inspiration from the old Thundercats cartoons) my point rewards are also cat themed. I wear cat ears on stream and one of my rewards is change my ears and they can choose which ears or I can just switch em out. Another reward is Pack Attack where the redeemer chooses who we raid.
Hey neat idea! Themed channel points, I like it!
just watched this after a couple months of streaming, I will definitely be using some of these for my streams, thank you so so much for the ideas.
I busted out laughing at 3:05! Good content dude 😂
What I use mine for is Sing along workouts and Longer streams I have to do it on the spot. My legs throat and butt kills me after but I really enjoy it. I know that its special but chat loves it
Do you reccomend using followers-only mode in chat?
Absolutely not, it just makes people leave. Follower only is for when you have thousands of viewers and even then it’s quite eh.
Yeah if i have to follow to type, i usually dont bother
On one channel I follow, a few of us suggested adding a "only speak in puns for two minutes". It hasn't been implemented yet, but the streamer did seem on-board with the idea. I don't know if I can have channel points yet, since I'm not an affiliate yet, but I could see myself doing something similar, like "Only speak Danish for two minutes", since Danish is my native language and I find it strangely awkward so I use English the vast majority of the time on stream...
Researching on RUclips yet again. As always, good content. Thumbs up!
Great stuff! Thanks for all your advice!
I'm beginning to order various different things to start my stream, and in the meantime I've been watching your videos, which you're able to make quite entertaining.
Using some of your tips, I was able to come up with two original (to my knowledge) channel point ideas. one was to after finishing my current game play dinosaur run (the google Easter egg for when internet goes down), and have the viewers make an over/under prediction for my top score after 3 tries. IDK if this is okay though, as it may be copyrighted. I also came up with one where the viewer gives me two synonyms, and I have to explain the difference between them (for example, the difference between ecstatic and euphoric) in terms of connotation or usage in everyday language. Please let me know if either of these work!
ive set up a channel points spend for a warcry on stream, i pop on my viking helmet and give a warcry for the stream XD
Which Final Fantasy 7 though? Makes a big difference lol
Great video.
Not enough points in the world to do star jumps had me DEAD bro ahahahaha
great ideas I am going to add a couple to my redeems now
thanks for the video, it was probably the best twitch related video ive seen so far C:
Thank you so much for being so kind and share your knowledge. Will follow also on twitch for sure.
Keep it up!
Good luck! Hope it helps!
There actually are some great ideas i'll definently use some!
Good luck! Hope they help!
Is there a way to add an audio cue to your channel points when someone redeems them? I know of some streamers where their redeems pop up on stream and make a sound so people know who used it. I cant figure anything like that out.
I don’t even stream on twitch why am I here? 😂
Just enjoying the vibes!
@@StreamScheme indeed 😂 I love the quality of your videos
@@SpaceLegends Hey thanks man!
i have never laughed so hard a video of stream help! You're amazing. Obviously will follow ;)
I am gonna be honest, I chose a couple to start with tonight's stream! As always, thank you for the help!
Absolutely love the irish accent idea, and the pro tips lol
I take a shot of whiskey while I stream, and what my viewers would do is that they'd stock up points and wait for me to reach a certain point in game, and they would redeem a lot at once.
Imagine playing Smash bros semi drunk 😂
Wow. Thanks this really helped a lot! Currently going through my (now affiliate!) channel and customizing it. Really appreciate all the help!
literally got spammed with hydrate as soon as I set my channel points up. Was great lol.
I’m a novice tarot reader so I have a one card tarot reading redeem on my channel. It’s fun and I get to practice.
That does sound fun!
I also plan to have a redeem for this!
I got my twitch affiliate contract about 2 weeks ago, I've only been streaming for 2 months and have been really wracking my brain on taking that plunge into being twitch affiliate, I'd really like to know your stance on how you view the affiliate contract. I know not everyone agrees as Harris Heller says do take it and Devin Nash says don't take it. But that aside!! Your videos have helped me out so much and I love all these ideas for points. Thank you so much for everything!
I watched Devins video so this covers a few of the points he talks about and why I slightly disagree. I also REALLY respect Devin, I think a lot alike to him except my focus is more on the social side of Twitch.
Affiliate is great, it is a cancel any time agreement as Devin says, and it gives you access to tools like Channel Points, which are great for engaging new chatters... which is the opposite to what he says.
Blaming a tool for not being engaging isn't quite right, if you use points properly they can be HUGE. Did you know when someone follows they get a small amount of channel points and twitch recommends them the cheapest redeem you have? Which I have set to "Say Hi! I Am New! *wave*" and it has been a MASSIVE increase in new chatter engagement.
It also unlocks Hype trains, Hype trains which put you on the homepage of Twitch, a hype train is only 3 different people each doing 100 bits ($1) or Giftsubs. Devin talks about how you can lose 50/50 cuts with Twitch and the $100 payout, but if you remove the donation button and focus subs/bits for support then you not only reach the $100 easier but have chances to be advertised on the front page of Twitch for $3 at minimum.
You unlock emotes, sub badges, and more that can help community build when used right.
The only downsides are that affiliate won’t help you straight away, it is a slow build as people find and enjoy the content, then subscribe/support you if the content is good.
AND, you aren’t allowed to multistream meaning you can’t go live on multiple platforms at the same time, however most streamers aren’t doing that anyway.
There is the stuff about Twitch "owning" your brand but they can't own your brand, they just own the channel and have control over what you broadcast on it. Banning you, or using your content in their marketing, etc. I can't speak too much on that one, but it won't affect you I'd say.
@@StreamScheme thank you so much! I honestly don't think I would've been able to get to the point where I am now even considering this if it wasn't for you, Devin and Harris. Honestly if it wasn't for you guys I don't think I would've even be inspired to become a streamer. I cannot thank you enough!
This was actually pretty helpful, thanks for the insight
haha gotta be honest, you made me laugh a couple of times. liked > subbed (even though this is an oldie vid of yours)
Heck yeah! I'm glad mate!
Thank you for this. I legit used 3 of your ideas and as I was writting them, many ideas came to me. Probably went up 10 channel points ideas with that video. I enjoy your content, it's great and amazing quality! +1 sub friend
Smashing it mate! Keep it up!
For the community challenge, is it a good idea for me to make it something along the lines of "Streaming with my dog" or "Streaming with my lizard". My community seems to love my pets and I think it might be a good way to get them more involved with using their channel points.
It can be! Just be prepared to obviously say sometimes "Hey! sorry Dog doesn't want to be part of the stream today!" if it isn't feeling it, I've seen other people be called out for "using" pets which I can understand in some situations.
@@StreamScheme yeah of course!! thanks!!
Can't believe chat didn't like FF7!!
I thought the same
How to you fix the multiplier on your points?????
Started Streaming by watch this channel. I just want to say, Thanks!
This was really helpful and I'm definitely going to use some of these ideas, thanks ! :)
Love the philosophy, and I love that you aren't yelling my fucking ears off.
Hahaha are there a lot of yelling creators?
