Streams where chat controls the game by typing commands — famously 'Twitch Plays Pokémon.' Beautiful, democratic chaos.

- Viewer games
Playing with your audience — custom lobbies, viewer queues, community servers. One of the strongest small-streamer growth tools.
- Polls
Letting chat vote on decisions — which game next, which loadout, pineapple on pizza. Fast, easy engagement that makes viewers feel heard.
- Channel points
Free loyalty points viewers earn by watching, spent on rewards the streamer defines — highlight a message, pick a game, make them do push-ups.
