Super Chat and Super Stickers are two unique features on YouTube that allow content creators to monetize their live streams and help fans interact with streamers in a more enjoyable way. With new updates, our Live Now app can now show these two features when you’re live streaming on Youtube. In this article, we will dive deeper into what Super Chat and Super Stickers are, how they work, and the eligibility and availability requirements for using these features on your YouTube channel.
What is Super Chat?
Super Chat is a feature available on live-streaming on YouTube where viewers can pay to have their messages highlighted and pinned at the top of the chat window for up to five hours. This feature offers an opportunity for creators to monetize their content while enhancing engagement with their viewers.
What are Super Stickers?
Super Stickers are quite like normal stickers that viewers can purchase during streams to show support to the streamer they love. The difference is that these stickers appear super-sized on the screen next to the viewer’s avatar and their size, animation, and placement depend on the amount of money they pay.
With Super Chat & Super Stickers, viewers can purchase messages or stickers during live streams, which will be highlighted in the chat window for everyone to see. These two features are good ways for viewers to support the channel and show appreciation for the content they are enjoying.
YouTube Super Chat & Super Stickers Eligibility Requirements
In order to use Super Chat & Super Stickers, you need to meet specific eligibility requirements of Youtube. Firstly, your channel must have at least 1,000 subscribers, and you must be at least 18 years old and located in one of the countries that YouTube supports. Additionally, you need to have an AdSense account linked to your channel to receive payments from viewers.
It is also essential that your channel complies with all applicable laws and YouTube Community Guidelines. This means that you cannot use Super Chat & Super Stickers to promote anything illegal, violent, or offensive. Moreover, your channel must be in good standing, with no strikes, and no live streaming restrictions such as copyright issues.
Please note that these two features are only available in certain countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, and more. We advise that you familiarize yourself with all the policies associated with these features before using them, as failure to comply could lead to account suspension or termination.
YouTube Super Chat & Super Stickers Availability Requirements
