How to Start and Use Twitch Predictions
Twitch Predictions can be started by typing the command "/prediction" into the chat window. Once the message has been sent, the prediction menu will become available. You can make a custom prediction and present viewers with two possible outcomes using the menu options on the right.
Mode of Operation of Predictions
It is through the use of predictions that users can wager their channel points on the outcome of a particular event. Once the prediction has been completed, viewers who correctly predicted the outcome will be rewarded with channel points for their participation. Whenever an incorrect outcome is predicted, channel points are awarded in proportion to how many points were wagered on it. In order to calculate the percentage of correct predictions, divide this total by the number of people who watched the show.
How to Start and Use Twitch Predictions
1: Type and send the command /prediction in the Twitch chat.
2: Select the "Begin Prediction" button from the drop-down menu.
3: In the "Name the prediction" box, type the name of your prediction. This is the sporting event for which viewers will attempt to predict the outcome.
4: Provide the audience with two alternative outcomes from which they can choose.
5: Specify the time period during which participants must submit their predictions by selecting it from the "Submission Period" drop-down menu.
6: Select "Begin Prediction" from the drop-down menu.
How to Get Twitch Predictions
Twitch Affiliates and Partners are the only ones who have access to the predictions data. The predictions feature will be enabled automatically once your Twitch account has been upgraded to affiliate or partner status.
Who Can Start a Prediction?
Streamers and moderators on Twitch can both initiate predictions, but only one of them has the authority to make the call. Both the moderator and the streamer can use the chat command to open the prediction interface, and both can use the chat command to close it.
Methods for Selecting a Prediction Outcome
To choose an outcome, type the command "/prediction" into the chat window to bring up the prediction menu. Only the moderator or the streamer has the ability to make changes to the outcome of a game or event.
You will be presented with a window titled "Manage Predictions," which will allow you to "Choose Outcome." It is necessary to first click "End Submissions" if any of your submissions are still in progress.
Select the correct outcome from the drop-down menu and then click the "Complete Prediction" button at the bottom of the menu.
It is possible that you will be contacted to confirm the outcome. It is possible to hide this window in the future by selecting the "Do not show this window again" checkbox in the previous step.
Conclusion
Predictions are an excellent tool for streamers to use to engage with their audience and keep them watching. Viewers who place their channel points on the line may feel more invested and rewarded if their predictions are correct. Furthermore, predictions can encourage more viewers to participate in the conversation and feel a sense of belonging to the discussion. In large part, this is due to the temporary badge that is displayed alongside a user's name after a prediction has been made.
