TwitchDrops

Basics

This extension will automatically claim your Drops, Channel Points and Moments. Just watch your favorite streams, no need to set up anything.
You can always check claims history, the time of the last claims, as well as the total number of claimed Drops, Points and Moments. Note that the counters only show what is claimed by the extension itself and not automatically given to you by Twitch (for example, Channel Points for participating in the Raid).
The extension keeps track of some events that occur on streams. You can set up alerts for different events and view their history.
All your settings, statistics, claims and events history are synchronized between devices with browsers where you are signed in to your account.
The extension also works in Twitch players opened in a popup window or embedded in another site. However, some features may be limited.
The extension performs its actions in the background without relying on the interface, so you can still see notifications about available Drops, Moments or buttons for claiming Points. There is no point in clicking on them.
The browser may automatically interrupt streams playback, especially if they are in hidden tabs and with the sound turned off. To make sure playback doesn't get interrupted, don't open too many tabs and keep your stream in an active (not minimized) tab.

Alerts

You can set up alerts when receiving Drops, Channel Points or Moments separately for each type.
You can also separately turn on only the sound, the operating system alert, or the pop-up alert, or you can turn it on all together.
You can immediately test alerts to decide on the settings. Test alerts are included in the claims history, but do not affect the total counters.
Pop-up alerts are displayed on all pages on the Twitch site and are visible even in the player in full screen mode.
Alerts for different types of events are configured similarly.

Claims History

You can always check the claims history of Drops, Channel Points and Moments. It only stores what is claimed by the extension itself, and not what is claimed by you manually or issued automatically.
You can filter the history by the type of rewards.
Due to storage limits, only the last 10 Drops, 10 Moments, and 20 Channel Points groups are included in the history.

Settings

To improve your experience on the Twitch site, the extension offers additional features that you can always toggle in the settings.

Channel Raid Prevention

The extension will prevent the transition to the Raided channel.
In this case, the Raided page will be loaded for a short time and returned back. Thus, you will receive bonus Points for participating in the Raid.

This feature will bring back the stream preview images displayed when you hover over the channels in the side menu.
New previews are generated every 10 minutes, this time cannot be reduced.

Hiding Twitch Extensions

This feature is experimental and may not work correctly in some cases. It will continue to improve with updates.

Also, sometimes a notification about a new Moment may not come, which means that the extension will not be able to claim it. This error occurs on the Twitch side and cannot be fixed.

The time until you receive new Points and their amount depend on your subscription level.
You can only earn Points on two channels at the same time. If more than 2 channels are opened, Points will be earned on those that were opened last. This limitation is imposed by Twitch itself and cannot be bypassed.
In the claims history and statistics, only Points received by the extension itself are displayed. Bonus Points for watch streaks or participation in Raids do not fall there.

Events

You can individually toggle alerts for each type of event to keep abreast of those that interest you.

Information About Errors

Video Stream Playback Error

This error will occur if the extension detects a Twitch player freeze or errors while making requests to the Twitch server.

The reason may be unstable Internet or its disruption on your side. In this case: check Internet connection / turn off the player's "Low Latency" mode.

Also, the reason may be the temporary degradation of the Twitch servers. In this case: check the status on the Twitch Support Twitter / just wait.

Reward Claiming Block

This error will occur if the extension determines that it is not possible to claim a reward, such as bonus Points or a Drop.

This error occurs when the Twitch anti-bot system puts your IP address in a shadowban. There can be many reasons for that, but the main ones are your IP change or a large number of requests from it. IP changes can happen if you use a VPN, also some ISPs may change your IP on a regular basis. A large number of requests can occur if there are many computers (with Twitch opened) on your IP, some ISPs connect many households to one public IP.

The extension itself cannot be the cause of this error! At the moment, this shadowban does not affect your account and is automatically removed after a while.

In case of this error: wait a couple of hours / change your IP address / re-login on Twitch / clear browser cache and cookies, write to Twitch support.
