Creating Goals
Set up a goal to track viewer contributions and community milestones.
Step 1: Navigate to Goals
Navigate to Goals in the sidebar.
Step 2: Create a New Goal
- Click Create Goal
- The goal wizard walks you through the setup
Step 3: Configure Your Goal
Basic Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A descriptive name for your goal |
| Description | Explain what the goal is for |
| Type | Select a goal type (standard, milestone, team, competitive, etc.) |
| Target Amount | The total needed to complete the goal, counted in the source's unit (bits, sub points, or points). Not needed for the highest-total rule, where the highest total wins |
| End Type | When the goal ends: manual, time_limit, or end_of_stream |
Source
Pick what counts toward the goal. See Contribution Sources for each option. A Bits goal counts bits one for one and a Sub Points goal counts Twitch sub points, so neither needs any values set.
Freelance goals need viewers to pick an option, so the Bits, Sub Points and Bits and Subs sources aren't available for them.
Contribution Values (Bits and Subs Only)
Configure how different contribution types convert to goal points:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 Sub Value | Points per Tier 1 subscription |
| Tier 2 Sub Value | Points per Tier 2 subscription |
| Tier 3 Sub Value | Points per Tier 3 subscription |
| Bits Per Point | How many bits equal one goal point |
Milestones (For Milestone Goals)
Add milestone tiers with:
- Threshold — The point value where this milestone unlocks
- Label — A description of what happens at this milestone
Display Options
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Show Points | Display the point count on the overlay |
| Show in Overlay | Add a progress widget to your overlay |
Step 4: Activate
Goals start in Draft status. When you're ready:
- Review your settings
- Set the status to Active
- The goal begins accepting contributions
Goal Lifecycle
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Goal is configured but not yet active |
| Active | Accepting contributions, visible to viewers |
| Completed | Target reached. A highest-total race always ends Completed: the winner is the highest total, ties go to whoever reached that total first, and a race nobody contributed to ends with no winner |
| Failed | Time limit reached without meeting the target |
| Cancelled | Manually cancelled by the streamer |
