Twitch Channel Point Macros 🚀

Interfaces

What dat app do?

TCPM (Twitch Channel Point Macros) is a macro program that integrates with channel point rewards. You can set it up to trigger keys/hotkeys or your own scripts when a reward is redeemed! TCPM is conceptually similar to LioranBoard but is cross-platform, is more streamlined, and doesn't require setting up a stream deck.

As a streamer, you could have rewards that:

skip the current song on Spotify with the ⏭️ key
change scenes in OBS with something like Ctrl + /

or just use normal keypresses to do stuff like:

Twitch Plays Games through channel point rewards
let Twitch chat pretend to be a cat walking across your keyboard 😼

Have coding experience? Set up triggers that run your own scripts to do things like control your lighting. Are you a game dev? Share scripts with your community that trigger in-game events.

Check out the Examples section below for tried use cases!

How to basic

Example uses

Snap Camera

In this example, a redemption triggers a Snap Camera filter by toggling it with a hotkey, then toggling it again 5 minutes later to turn it off. Example: Snap Camera Integration w/ Hotkeys

League of Legends

In this example, a redemption triggers an in-game ability by pressing a hotkey. This example is mostly just proof-of-concept for controlling games.

A more interesting exploration would be doing Twitch Plays Games through channel points. Certain controls could be given more weight by adjusting the channel point cost. Example: LoL Integration w/ Hotkeys

Endless possibilities

Need more customization? With some scripting experience or help from a developer, TCPM can integrate with almost anything by triggering arbitrary commands.

Have smart appliances? Arduino projects? Automation scripts? Try 'em all! TCPM had no problem interfacing with a different project where my computer uses TTS to tell my Google Home to do stuff. 🤖

Our philosophy is that you and others are better at making cool things. TCPM only aims to be a simple and well-designed bridge that enables others to connect their projects to Twitch and keep building up the Twitch ecosystem.

What's next?

Here are some of our high-priority issues:

Allow users to specify applications which must be open/focused for the rewards to trigger. We attempted to implement this already; however, it's a little jank and only works on Windows. The feature is currently disabled.
Create a public-facing documentation and distribution website.
Get Affiliate status so we can stop bugging people to test for us. 😂
Polish. The project already works in its built state, but there is a lot of ironing-out to be done before we feel comfortable making it widely accessible. In general, we are just missing a lot of features derived from our user stories.
