Your feedback is essential to developing our products; this new Sound Alerts update reflects that. Using your suggestions on our Idea Board, we assembled an update with new features for the Extension and Sound Alerts with Channel Points, among other quality-of-life improvements for the Sound Alerts ecosystem.
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.
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
Stay tuned!
We will release more updates and features soon — keep an eye on our socials and this blog to stay up to date. You can request new features in our Idea Board and join our Discord server to become a part of our content creator community. Thank you for using Sound Alerts, and happy streaming!
