It has taken me months of adding and removing twitch channel point redeems to
my stream to figure out what works and what
doesn't now i'm not shy or selfish i want to keep these secrets to myself so
like some trench coat wear and freak i'm going to reveal all for you today in this video
Hello my name is Eljay from
streamscheme.com i'm also a variety streamer over at twitch.tv/eljayem_
links to both those in the description if you want to check
them out we've got a lot of guides there for you
so i'm by no means a large streamer but since i started in march i've managed to
grow my stream to about 90 to 95 average viewers
and it's going well no bans yet. So kicking straight into it if you have an idea for
a channel point redeem please comment down below with your twitch username
we're going to go through and find the most unique ones
and give them shout outs on our social media the more people who do this means
the more ideas we can share and make a little database in the comments of some
of the best ones we might even put them up on our website so
check those comments down below for me in today's video we are going to cover
five things about channel points the first is going to be what makes a good
or a bad channel point in my opinion the second is going to be the classic
channel point ideas the third is going to be the react
channel point ideas the fourth is the content gen channel point ideas which
are my favorite of all of them and the fifth is how to use the new
community challenge channel point system so let's get straight into what makes a
good or a bad channel point now personally i think that channel points
need to be something that adds to the content and don't distract from it if a
channel point idea is something that's going to make me stop and pause
right in the middle of something and have to do something else then i think
that is a terrible idea if i'm doing something funny or
something amazing is happening on stream and suddenly i'm being told i have to do
sit-ups or dabs then that is a bad channel point redeem
for me so if you do want to do anything like that then make sure you let people
know that those channel point redeems aren't
instant they can happen a little bit later they're all being tracked it
doesn't have to be straight away so let's get into some of these channel
point redeem ideas and don't worry i will also be giving you a rough idea of
how many points it should be worth based off my channel
two quick notes the first is if you're wondering why you don't have channel
points on your stream it is because you probably aren't an affiliate you need to
be affiliate or partner to get channel points
unlocked the second thing if you're a reviewer and you're trying to
get more channel points in a stream well the best thing you can do there is be in
the stream be active follow them if you really want
to earn more subscribing at higher tiers will also earn you more channel points
over time a quick side note is that with these
points you can also upload icons for them i would recommend
doing it it adds a lot of production value these have to be 28 pixels 56
pixels and 112 pixels same image all three
sizes it's just so twitch has things for
mobile and other devices i really would recommend looking into it
so our first set of ideas are the classics now the classics are things
that pretty much everyone has they're nothing really original but you can put
your own spin on them they're not fancy but they're solid
staples and they fill out your collection of redeemables
most of these can be found that when you're setting up your channel points if
you click on view twitch collections you will most likely get all of these so
the first idea is to drink some water or hydrate now this is a very simple one
it's just to let your chat remind you to drink some water it's quite nice and
wholesome or if you have a chat like mine they
spam it until i need to pause and pee and then they cheer i'm looking at you
jimino i'm looking at you lucky that is why i set this to 500 points
because apparently they're trying to drown me
it hasn't worked yet mother the next idea is posture check this turns your
chat into an angry italian grandma or a very strict private school soccer mum
telling you to put your shoulders back and stand up straight no mom i don't
want to i want to slouch that is why this is 250 points because every time
they redeem it five seconds later i'm going back down
the third idea is suggest a poll and now i use that language quite specifically
is just suggest a poll because not all polls are a good idea
for example in my chat we mainly use it to debate which soft drink or dessert is
best it really riles people up or it helps to
name pokemon or heroes and lets chat kind of decide on it
this is a thousand points to redeem because it does make a mod go out of
their way to do something or me have to go out of my way
to do it the next is ama or ask me anything
now this is pretty simple chap asks a question in this redeem and you answer
it but again i've never really understood
this one this is great for large streamers but for us small guys
why would we ignore chat asking questions and force them to use some
sort of point pay wall it's up to you if you
want to use it but it's an idea and the amount of points you want to use
again totally up to you the next up is very simple it is dabbing for a thousand
points you know what dabbing is if you don't
look it up i'm not doing it now i'm going to encapsulate all of the fitness
ones just into the idea of fitness but you know these are going to be sit-ups
star jumps or push-ups personally i would never do any kind of
fitness redeems literally if i did a star jump i'm pretty sure i'd need a
sports bra and i don't want chat clipping that whatever points you
want to set for this is up to you but for me not enough points in the
world the next is the timeout someone in chat can redeem points to time
themselves out i never really got this one either
just leave chat or don't talk but some people like it
500 points for a minute of being timed out
i don't know it's in twitch collections so apparently people use it
the next is emote chat someone can redeem that remote chat is on for say 60
seconds which is when people can't send messages
they can only send emotes not a huge fan of this for smaller streamers because at
the end of the day you kind of need that interaction that
back and forth but it's there i'd say probably 500 to 700 points if this was
for me so next up is the react category now
these are great for smaller streamers particularly affiliates who don't have
enough emotes unlocked a good example of this is a fail react or a fail redeem in
my chat it's called username has spilled their milk
and it's actually pretty fun people use it all the time when i fail in games not
that it happens often and well actually no they've
started using it just when i get up to use the bathroom
like intensely just spamming spilled their milk
for me i have the set to a thousand points but you can set it any kind of
price it really just comes down to how much you want people to
redeem your fails another idea is this is cursed for 666 channel points you put
this in and every time something horrific or weird or disgusting happens
people can redeem it every time i go into character creation and make
something horrific everyone always redeems my this is cursed one and it is
a lot of fun people really enjoy it i hope you kind of get a gist for the
react ones you just pick a reaction that you want
put a channel point there and let people redeem it it's a fun little way of doing
it it fills it out so before we get into
the content jen redeems which are my absolute favorites have a lot of fun
with them it's important to throw out there that
if you're liking the content that i'm producing please
subscribe to the channel please like the video it really helps us out and don't
forget to comment your ideas your twitch channel
and if you decide to use any of these channel ideas comment them down below as
well now on to my favorite of all different types of channel point redeems
the content gen ones now these are ones that when redeemed they give you more
content for your stream some of them do require more preparation
but they're worth it and these literally have some of the
best moments in my entire stream first up on my stream we have a thing
called weird internet chat are allowed to submit
weird news and weird internet to a google form my mods go through and check
to make sure it's nothing bad and then people can redeem weird
internet on my stream after a big break or when we switch
games or at the end of the stream i go in
i pull up weird news or weird internet and we watch or read it and have a good
laugh together it's great because it is a whole segment i do have
this set to 5 000 channel points and only one redeem per night another idea
is for music or song redeems now i used to have a thing for
5 000 channel points you could redeem the minecraft theme song
it was a lot of fun when i was small but as i got bigger it became more difficult
and i kind of felt like it threw off and didn't fit for certain games
so i have turned that off for now obviously for this make sure you don't
do anything copyrighted or else you're just gonna put yourself in hot water for
the sake of a channel point redeem next up is tell me some aussie slang now
this was a really really fun one for my chat
i went through and found a bunch of australian slang that both
even aussies wouldn't even know and then people could redeem two a night
for me to say some slang and they would have to try and guess what it is before
i would reveal that it would be something ridiculous
obviously you can throw in british slang or american slang whatever you feel like
for your chat but for me i am australian so it fit
quite nicely it was 2 000 channel points and as i said you can only redeem two a
night this was because it required effort on my behalf to go find
fun slang for it and i just needed it to last longer and stretch it out so it
lasted about a month and a half to two months the next is one of my favorite
channel point redeems of all time it is give me a pro tip
lj obviously you wouldn't put my name in your redeem but that's what mine's
called and this is when chat redeems it i give
them a pro tip some of them can be fun some of them can be serious
but often it is just me talking out of my ass on the fly
or throughout the week i'll write down little jokes in the form of pro tips
so i can then give them out to chat when they're redeemed if you want to see an
example of a pro tip you can either check me out live i'm
probably live literally right now or i'll just give you one for free
if you're trying to open a public toilet door just just keep pulling
because sometimes they get stuck and if you hear someone screaming it's probably
not inside just keep yanking on that door you'll get in
eventually you'll get to use that toilet this is two thousand points and two a
night it is the same logic as the aussie slang it requires effort on my behalf
and i need them to last longer a channel point redeem i will be
adding very soon i'm kind of excited to see is
draw me like one of your french girls once a week i will let someone redeem
this and i'm going to draw them in photoshop or ms paint depending on
what's funnier and i'm not allowed any references i
just have to go off their username and how they act in my chat
i don't know how much this is going to cost yet i'm thinking about 5000 because
it does require effort and one redeem a week so to set
this up i would set one redeem per night and then once someone has redeemed it in
that week i will pause all redemptions meaning that no one else
can do it next up is asmr my chat loves making me use this one essentially they
get me to whisper sweet nothings into their ears for ten thousand points
i'll tell anyone they've got beautiful eyes
the next up is me guitar irish now this is a great channel point redeem and
pretty much just means i put my irish accent on
i have it set to 2000 points but honestly if i could i just do it all the
time i'd like any excuse to use this accent
chat loves it and it's very accurate okay on to the i mean okay on to the
next one which is the community challenge
now twitch only just brought out the community challenge which essentially
lets people pull all of their points to get a single big
redeem most streamers use this as a way to say hey
if you want me to play insert game here i will do it if you get this many points
as a community it's a great way to kind of judge
whether or not people are keen for a certain game especially if you're going
to play the game anyway it's just a nice little way to make sure people are
excited and drum up a bit more hype that said a
fresh spin on this that i came up with myself was to create two of these
at the same time and say it was a race if you wanted me to play final fantasy 7
then you'd have to get that one to the end before ocarina of time was
and let's just say my chat absolutely destroyed
the ocarina of time one no one wanted me to play final fantasy vii
i was very disappointed so if you're gonna use community challenge i think
that's a nice way to add a spin to it creating a race eventually you're still
gonna do the other option as well but you can see which one people want
you to do first so with that i hope you have a few ideas for your channel
point redeems go whisper sweet nothings in an irish accent to your chat
comment your ideas down below so everyone can share them and let me know
if you're going to use any of these today
in your stream so i can come check it out and see how it goes
i have been lj and i will see you guys next week so don't forget to subscribe
