How To Enable Memberships and Super Chats For Your YouTube Channel
Currently, YouTube monetization (required for Super Chat) requires 1,000 subscribers, and 4,000 public watch hours on your YouTube channel. For Memberships, you'll need at least 500 subscribers and 3,000 public watch hours. Click here for more info on enabling Memberships. If you meet these requirements, here's how to enable Super Chats:
- Head to the YouTube studio, and click "Monetization" on the left side.
- At the top of the screen, click "Supers", then click the blue "Get started" button.
- Scroll through the Paid Features usage agreement, type your name, email, and company name at the bottom, and click "Accept".
- The screen should refresh, and after a moment, you should see that Super Chat (and Super Stickers) are now enabled!
YouTube Super Chats, Member Milestones, and Gifted Memberships will be automatically starred
Super Chats, Member Milestones, and Gifted Memberships will automatically starred in the StreamYard studio so you can easily find these important messages. Here's how it looks:
If you'd rather have more control over which comments are starred, you can disable the auto-star feature. Here's how to disable it:
- In the studio, click on the "Starred" tab in the comments area.
- Slide the toggle off next to "Auto-star superchats." That's it! These chats will still show in your studio chat but they will no longer be automatically starred.
