New Features for Sound Alerts with Channel Points

You asked us to implement new ways to use Channel Points and enable additional alerts for your most loyal viewers. We are thrilled to announce that three new alert types are ready to be used with Sound Alerts for Channel Points now:

  • Activate Text-to-Speech Alerts and let your viewers send you individual voice messages with their Channel Points
  • Use Video Share Alerts and allow your viewers to trigger YouTube and Twitch Clips on-stream with Channel Points
  • Enable Random Sound Alerts and surprise your viewers with unpredictable sounds for Channel Points

More Sound Alerts with Channel Points Slots

Yes, this is no joke. We are increasing the limit of Channel Points slots for all Sound Alerts users to 10 as we want you to be able to use all the new and fun alert types to the fullest extent. Users who participate in our Friend Referral or Translators Program will receive a total of 15 slots.

New Sound Alerts Extension Features

The Sound Alerts Twitch Extension is the heart of our streaming product. We want to enable more ways to use it based on the ideas of the community. These are the newest updates to the Extension:

  • Enable the Overlay Mode of the Extension in your Twitch Creator Dashboard and allow your viewers to access it via a new button on the top-left of your livestream
  • Using Text-to-Speech Alerts, your viewers can now hear a preview of the message before they submit it to the livestream
  • We enabled more ways to protect you from alerts by banned users
  • We added more ways to view and browse the Extension Leaderboard
  • Your viewers can access the Extension in seven additional languages

Other Changes to Sound Alerts

Our team implemented various quality-of-life changes to the Sound Alerts ecosystem that should come in handy:

  • Random alerts sounds are available for all alert types now
  • Streamers can deactivate anonymous Bits alerts through the Dashboard now
  • If you or your Dashboard Managers cancel or deny a Bits alert, the viewer submitting the alert will receive a replay token that lets them play another alert of the exact cost for free
  • TTS messages can now be displayed in the chat
