Channel Memberships coming to YouTube in 2017 - Sign up for the Beta
As some of you already know, YouTube is working on a Channel Membership program (previously known as Sponsorships) for YouTube Gaming. This program allows the community to send a monthly payment to support their favorite creators. Users are then recognized as sponsors in the live chat with a Sponsor badge.
After listening to the creators, YouTube will also be introducing custom emojis for sponsors to use in the chat. To know more about the process of sponsoring a channel, click here.
