How Radar heat works

Heat is based on audience energy relative to that channel’s normal activity — not raw message volume alone. A smaller stream that jumps 5× can outrank a huge stream chatting at its usual pace. On the map, hotter streams swarm toward the core; cooler ones stay on the outer ring.

HighlightPilot does not claim Heat predicts virality. It shows where audience chat is heating up right now across Twitch’s live top 100 streams (any language) — the set rotates as channels go offline or drop out of the rankings.

How to read the map

• Core — hotter relative energy right now
• Outer ring — calmer relative to that channel’s baseline
• Hover / list view — streamer, game, viewers, heat, energy/sec, and trend labels
• Filters — search, game, minimum heat, and trend to focus the swarm

What Radar is not

• Not a VOD chat graph for finished broadcasts
• Not kill/event detection or gameplay computer vision
• Not a guarantee a moment will go viral
• Not a substitute for your paid monitoring slots — Radar is a public heat map

From heat to official Twitch clips

When you want candidates in your Clip Inbox, use the automatic Twitch clipper with slot-based monitoring. Radar helps you see what is heating up; slots decide what HighlightPilot clips for you. Compare tool categories on Compare.

FAQ

Is this a Twitch chat heat map?

Yes — a live relative-energy heat map of top streams, updated as the live set changes. It is not a per-VOD messages-per-second scrubber.

Does Radar create clips automatically?

No. Use signup and add channels to create official Helix clips into your inbox.

Why can a smaller stream look hotter than a bigger one?

Heat compares each channel to its own typical pace. Relative energy lifts matter more than absolute chat volume.
