⚙️ Step 1: Open Stream Avatars and Create a Custom Command

Launch your Stream Avatars app.
Click on the “Bot Commands” tab on the left.
At the top, hit “Edit Custom Commands.”
Click “Create Command” – name it whatever you want (e.g., "boom").

Next, click the gear icon next to your new command:

Alias: Type the name of the channel point redemption you’ll use on twitch.
For example: Battle Royale
Restriction: Choose who can use this (“Followers or Subs” recommended).
Currency Cost: Leave this at 0 – Twitch points will handle the cost.
Run Command: Type the actual command that will activate the reward (e.g., !battleroyal).
Send Message (Optional): Add a fun message like
“Get Ready! 💥 The Battle Royale is starting NOW!”

Click Save and Exit twice to confirm the setup.

🧭 Step 2: Set Up a Custom Reward in Your Twitch Dashboard

Head over to your Twitch Creator Dashboard.
On the left sidebar, go to “Viewer Rewards” → “Power-ups & Channel Points” then “Manage Power-ups & Channel Points”
Scroll down and click “Add New Custom Reward.”

Now you’ll enter the details for your channel point redemption:

Reward Name: This must match exactly the name you gave your custom command (e.g., "Battle Royale").
Description: Add a fun one-liner if you’d like!
Cost: Choose how many channel points viewers need (I used 450 for this one).
Customize the appearance, cooldowns, and limits as needed.
Click “Create.”

🧪 Step 3: Test It Live

Now for the fun part! 🎉

Open your Twitch chat.
Use your own channel points to redeem your new custom reward.
You should instantly see the effect in Stream Avatars — like bombs falling, avatars dancing, or a battle royale kicking off.

Congrats! You’ve now added an interactive layer to your stream powered by your community.
