Button Cooldowns & Stream Limits

When setting up your Twitch Extension or Channel Points alerts, you can now select an individual cooldown and stream limit to control how frequently viewers can use your alerts. This setting is super helpful for special alerts like jump scares or longer sounds and helps ensure that they are not spammed.

Reverse Direction of Chat & Activity Feed Widget

You can now change the direction of certain widgets to allow your chat widget or Activity Feed entries to scroll from the top to the bottom or vice versa. Use the settings on the left to do this.

Chatbot Command Overview on the Tipping Page

Your viewers can now browse all your available Sound Alerts Chatbot commands via a new tab on your Tipping Page.

Random Alerts Overhaul

We changed how random alerts work in your Dashboard. You can now add multiple sounds or videos to any standard media alert, and it will automatically randomize the available entries in the list. This change also means that dedicated random buttons are no longer available. Furthermore, you can select rarities for each individual media list item in your randomized alerts.

Profile Updates

We redesigned the profile section to improve the management of alert profiles for Channel Points, Tipping, and Bits. You also have additional sorting options and can now change your profiles even quicker via the Home tab of the Dashboard.

Shared Chat Support

The chat widget now supports Twitch's Shared Chat feature and showcases each broadcaster's avatar next to the messages.

Custom Tipping Presets

You can now decide which number presets appear on your Tipping Page when viewers select their Tipping amount.

Announcements for Chatbot Commands

We added the option to choose whether a chat command will be shown as a Twitch Announcement that differs from regular messages in your chat.

Subathon Widget Redesign

We enhanced the standard look of the Subathon widget in our Scene Editor to match the current Sound Alerts aesthetic.

Other Changes

Additionally, we release the following smaller improvements:

  • New Activity Feed in your Twitch Extension showcasing all recent alerts

  • New customizable auto-hide setting for the Activity Feed widget

  • New option to show previous events on load when using the Activity Feed widget

  • New Library overview for the alert settings

  • Removed the thumbnail requirement for private library uploads

  • New media list preview in the Twitch Extension

  • New !soundalerts profiles command to show all existing profiles in your chat

  • The Chatbot will now announce profile switches

  • You can rename media list items for randomized alerts (this name will also show up in the alert animations)

  • The Scene Editor supports undo/redo now

September 22nd, 2025

New

  • You can now select individual alert cooldowns for each button in your Twitch Extension via the alert settings

  • The option to set up a stream limit for Channel Points alerts (e.g., can only be used 2 times each stream) is also there now (will be available for the Twitch Extension soon as well)

Changes to Profiles & My Alerts

You might have wondered why we performed several maintenance works in the last few weeks. To answer it briefly, we have fundamentally improved how you can set up alerts and profiles in your Sound Alerts Dashboard. This update will make it easier to navigate through your alerts and edit them simultaneously. New profile features are rolling out to everyone gradually so you might have to wait a bit until you can see them in full action.

This image shows the new Sound Alerts user interface for the My Alerts section.

The same applies to your alert profiles and significantly improves your experience when setting them up. Besides a general update of the "My Alerts" UI, you can profit from the following changes:

  • You can now create profiles for your favorite sets of Channel Points alerts, just like you can already do for Bits or Tipping alerts.

  • Adjust the thumbnails of alert buttons in your Extension with GIFs or 7TV (!!!) emotes to personalize the look of your Twitch Extension.

  • Change the order of your alert buttons with one click, bringing your newest or oldest alerts to the top of the list.

  • You can now disable individual alert buttons without needing to delete them entirely. Once you feel like using them again, you can enable them with one click.

  • Search through all your available alerts via the new dedicated alert search.

Activity Feed & Leaderboard Widget Redesign

We updated the Leaderboard and Activity Feed widgets in our Scene Editor with a modern look that suits any channel style. Both of them are fully customizable and work with different alert types. Set them up with a few clicks using our Scene Editor.

This image shows the UI of the Activity Feed and Leaderboard Widget in the Sound Alerts Scene Editor.

Replay Chat Command

Relive any past alert with our new replay chat command in the Sound Alerts Chatbot. Type "!soundalerts replay" and add an alert type like "Extension" or "Tipping" to activate any alert you missed or want to experience one more time.

This image shows the new !replay chat command for the Sound Alerts Chatbot.

Chat Styling Adjustments

By popular request, we added a text shadow setting to our chat widget. This option will allow you to customize different shadow colors for your chat text in the Scene Editor settings.

This image shows different shadow variations for the Sound Alerts chat widget.

Extension Activity Feed Rehaul

We reworked the way your recent alerts will display in your Sound Alerts Twitch Extension. This update will enable a more seamless and clear look for your alert activity.

This image shows the new Sound Alerts Extension Activity Feed.

Scene Editor Improvements

Exploring our existing stream widget catalog in the Scene Editor is now easier than ever. The new preview allows you to see all available overlays before adding them to your scene and pre-select the variation of your choice with ease.

This image shows the new Scene Editor widget selection user interface.

New Onboarding Page

New Sound Alerts users will be greeted by a new onboarding page that provides simple steps for completing the Sound Alerts setup.

Settings Page Overhaul

You might have noticed that our settings have a slightly new look, which should make navigating through all the existing options and tools easier. Enjoy this improved experience with all the settings you already know.

March 25th, 2025

Streamers, you can now use the whole AI TTS catalog for Text-to-Speech alerts on your Sound Alerts Tipping Page.

Simply head over to your My Alerts tab and select a voice in the alert settings. With this change in place, you can now use the TTS.Monster voices in the Extension and the Tipping Page at the same time.

Let us know which updates you want to see for the Tipping Page next and, as always, happy streaming!
