The guy I usually watch was offline, so I watched another ESO streamer with drops enabled.

This morning,, no drop.

Does the streamer have to manually acknowledge you and grant the drop? Or is it automated?

    I don't think there was a drop this morning. I think the last drop went out last night at around midnight EDT. That seems to be the general pattern when drops are enabled for a weekend:

    - Watch Thursday, get a drop Friday at 10 AM ET.
    - Watch Friday, get a drop Saturday at 10 AM ET.
    - Watch Saturday, get a drop Sunday at 10 AM ET.
    - Watch Sunday, get a drop Monday at 12 AM ET (i.e., Sunday night/Monday morning).

    Of course, drops aren't guaranteed, and you need to be sure that all conditions are met:

    - Link your Twitch account with your ESO account.
    - Have your Twitch presence set to "online."
    - Have your Twitch presence set to "share my activity."
    - Don't mute the volume on the stream.
    - Watch channels that have drops enabled (and note that streamers don't always remove the "Drops!" notice if their stream continues past the time when drops end).
    - Watch for at least 5 minutes while drops are enabled.

    It's a good idea to watch for longer than 5 minutes, and to watch more than just one channel. I usually watch a channel for 15 to 60 minutes, then switch to another channel for 15 to 60 minutes, etc. But if it's an off time when there aren't many people streaming, I might watch a particular channel for the duration.
