How does automatic channel point collection work?
StreamPulse clicks the bonus chest as soon as Twitch shows it in the live tab. The tab can stay in the background or behind other windows: collection continues as long as it is open.
Twitch grants channel points passively while you watch, plus a periodic bonus shown as a chest icon. That bonus is a meaningful share of your total over a long session, but it expires if left unclaimed.
The extension detects the chest and triggers the claim. A built-in counter shows how many points were collected, so you can confirm the module is genuinely working.
How do you enable auto-claim in three steps?
Setup takes about two minutes: add the extension from the Chrome Web Store, confirm the "Channel points" module is enabled, then import the channels you follow.
- Install the extension. One click from the Chrome Web Store. No StreamPulse account required.
- Enable the module. The "Channel points" module is on by default; you can disable it per channel.
- Import your streamers. One-click Twitch sync, or add Kick channels manually.
Are points claimed in the background?
Yes, as long as a Twitch tab is open on the channel. It can stay in the background or behind other windows: StreamPulse clicks the chest as soon as it appears. If the tab is closed, Twitch shows no bonus to claim.
In practice: start the stream, switch to another tab or app, and let the extension take care of the bonus every 15 minutes.
Is it risky for my Twitch account?
No. The extension only clicks, on your behalf, the bonus Twitch already shows you, in your browser, with your own session, while you watch. No bots, no fake views, no shared accounts.
All preferences stay in your browser local storage. The only exception is the community badge, which you can turn off: it sends a hash of your Twitch username, as detailed in the privacy policy.
The extension never asks for your Twitch password: it relies on the session already open in your browser.
Is the extension resource-heavy?
No. The extension works inside the Twitch tab you are already watching, and relies on caching and debouncing to limit network checks.
- No extra player: collection happens in the live tab you already have open.
- Spaced-out checks rather than continuous polling.
- Every module can be switched off individually.
FAQ
Do I need to keep the Twitch tab open?
Yes. Collection happens inside the channel tab: it can stay in the background, but if the tab or the browser is closed, no bonus is claimed.
Does auto-claim work on Kick?
No. On Kick, StreamPulse counts the channel points you earn and handles live tracking and notifications, but does not claim points for you.
Can I exclude specific channels?
Yes, collection can be toggled per channel from the dashboard.
Is StreamPulse paid?
No. Every feature is free, with no ads and no subscription.
