YouTube Super Chat Lets You Pay to Pin comments On Live Streams

YouTube Super Chat Lets You Pay to Pin comments On Live Streams

Enterprise & IT Jan 12,2017 0

YouTube is launching a new feature to help creators monetize when they go live. Super Chat allows viewers to pay to pin a comment on live streams.

When someone goes on a live stream, you'll see a dollar bill symbol in the chat window. Clicking this button opens up a slider that lets you set the dollar amount you'd like to send the YouTuber. The more you pay, the longer the comment gets pinned. You'll also get a few more characters for your message as well.

After making a payment, the comment will be highlighted in a different color to help live streamers flag a paid message.

Super Chat will replace Fan Funding, the site's previous tool for viewers to pay creators.

Super Chat is similar to what Twitch currently offers with Cheering, a way for fans to tip live streamers with chat emotes.

In order to avoid possible trolls, the same moderation tools that are currently offered on regular YouTube will be available for creators to blacklist chat words or ban harassing viewers.

Super Chat globally launches in beta today for select users and will roll out more broadly on January 31st.
