So what is this new Twitch feature Chat Firing? In this regard, the company itself conveyed: “Live stream flows fast. Partners, there’s a lot going on while you’re streaming. We have a community full of chatters with something to say and sometimes a really fast-paced chat experience. That’s why we’re introducing Chat Fire as a new opportunity to your audience who want to stand out and reach you. You will also receive a share of the revenue generated with each Chat Ignition purchase. Chat Firing allows viewers on your channel to pin their message to the top of the chat for a certain payment.“ Company “Let’s give some more details” He also said:
- -With Chat Ignition, viewers can send chat messages ranging from 1 USD to 500 USD. (Streamers can set their desired minimum price up to USD 100) and these messages are pinned to the top of the chat.
