Super Chat for YouTube Live Streams

Super Chat for YouTube Live Streams

As Live streams become more and more popular, it becomes more difficult to share a message and get noticed in a chat with hundreds or thousands of users. To give anyone a chance to stand out from the crowd, YouTube introduced Super Chat.

Watch the following video so you can learn more about how it works and make sure you read the additional information below.

Any user watching a livestream will be able to purchase a Super Chat, which is a message that is highlighted in the chat stream and that will remain pinned to the top of the chat for up to 5 hours.

 

 

For (super) fans

  • This is a great tool that can greatly improve your chances of being noticed by the other viewers as well as the creator.

 

For creators

  • This means that you have an additional way to monetize your live streams and keep track of conversations.
  • YouTube takes 30% of the revenue generated by Super Chat
  • Payments can range from $1 up to $500
  • Creators can track Super Chat earnings directly in YouTube Analytics

 

What is the percentage Freedom! takes from your Super Chat earnings?

The percentage is the same across YouTube revenue sources, so it's the same as YouTube Ad revenue.

  2. Channel is monetized
  3. Channel has more than 1,000 subscribers
  4. User needs to be over 18
