Drops Takeaway
Focus on the type of items that will resonate
with your community and get them talking.
Let them be your marketing engine.
Don’t be afraid to combine viewer heartbeat
data with your own internal data to create
unique and highly contextual reward criteria.
Drops isn’t just for your own streams. It can
be a powerful broadcaster spotlight tool to
help your community grow.
If you have a wide library of titles, try using
Drops as a way to cross-promote games
among your whole audience.
There may be a test after this…

Extension Takeaways
Just to summarize
Think of a common problem within a game’s
streaming experience and work backwards from it.
What issues do streamer’s face? What issues do
viewers face? Sometimes those are very different
things.
Viewers love broadcasters for their personalities.
How can you expose that personality through an
Extension?
Give viewers tools that encourage them to come
back to the game and apply their new knowledge.
