Channel Points Management
This page manages your Twitch channel points rewards directly through the Twitch connection. Changes go live on Twitch immediately. Menu: Channel → Channel Points.
This page is only available for Twitch.
Requirement
This page needs an extended Twitch connection. If the page shows a notice about missing permissions, log in with Twitch again using the shown link.
Overview
The table shows all rewards for your channel, including ones you created directly in the Twitch dashboard.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | The reward's background color |
| Reward | Reward name. A note shows whether it was "Created on Twitch, only editable there" or "Paused" |
| Cost | Cost in channel points |
| Status | Active or Inactive |
Rewards you created directly in the Twitch dashboard can only be viewed here, not edited. This is a limitation from Twitch itself: an application may only change rewards it created itself.
Creating a reward
The "Create reward" button opens a form with the following fields:
General
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Reward name | Displayed title, up to 45 characters | - |
| Description (optional) | Short description, up to 200 characters | - |
| Cost (points) | Point cost | 100 |
| Background color | The reward's color on Twitch | Default color |
| Input required | Viewers must enter text when redeeming | Off |
| Skip reward request queue | Redemptions are marked fulfilled immediately and do not need review | Off |
| Active | Whether the reward can be redeemed at all | Active |
| Paused | Only visible while editing. Paused rewards stay visible but cannot be redeemed | - |
A reward icon cannot be uploaded through this page, that is only possible directly in the Twitch dashboard.
Cooldown and limits
Turn on "Use cooldown & limits" to set the following fields:
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Redemption cooldown | Minimum time between two redemptions of the reward, up to 7 days. Leave empty for no cooldown | - |
| Unit | Seconds, minutes, hours or days | Minutes |
| Max per stream | Maximum total redemptions per stream. Empty = unlimited | - |
| Max per viewer per stream | How many times a single viewer may redeem per stream. Empty = unlimited | - |
Managing a reward
For every reward you created yourself, the table offers these actions (rewards created on Twitch have no actions available):
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens the same form as creating, pre-filled with the current values |
| Pause / Resume | Toggles the reward paused or active again |
| Active / Inactive (toggle) | Fully turns the reward on or off |
| Delete | Permanently removes the reward, after confirmation |
If Twitch rejects a change (for example because of invalid values), the page shows you the exact error message from Twitch and the form stays open, so you do not have to type everything again.
FAQ
Why can't I edit or delete a reward? This reward was created directly in the Twitch dashboard. Twitch only allows changes through the interface for rewards created by the same application.
How do I upload an icon for my reward? That is only possible directly in the Twitch dashboard, not through this panel.
What is the difference between "Paused" and "Inactive"? A paused reward stays visible to viewers but cannot currently be redeemed. An inactive (disabled) reward disappears entirely.
My change was rejected, why? The page shows you the exact error message from Twitch. Common causes are values that are too high for cost or limits.
