I started using a chat bot for Sound Alerts to announce the name, sound name and amount of bits whenever a user triggers an alert.
Giving the viewer recognition and give the broadcaster the opportunity to thank the viewer who spent bits inside the extension is really important. And to do this through chat is a good way.
I tried out this native extension chat message feature on my other extensions and I found out that the extension chat messages are not really chat messages?
A lot of streamers are using the twitch.tv chat pop out feature or other software to read chat like “chatty”. But the extension chat messages are not visible there. Streamers reached out to me that they can’t see the chat notifications because they don’t have their own stream channel open while streaming
I hope there is something that can be done at least in the twitch chat pop out, because it’s important that everyone can see the chat notifications.
