Eligibility for channels
Super Thanks is in beta and available to a group of monetizing creators in the YouTube Partner Program. We look forward to expanding to more creators later this year.
To check if you have access to Super Thanks:
- Sign in to YouTube Studio.
- In the left menu, click Monetization.
- Select the Supers tab. If it’s your first time in the Supers section, follow the on-screen instructions to get started.
- You must be monetizing and in an eligible location to have access to Supers.
- If you don’t see the Supers section, you don’t have access yet.
- Once you’ve completed all the instructions, if you see “Super Thanks” with an on/off button next to it, you have access. If you don’t see “Super Thanks,” you don’t currently have access.
We aren’t currently taking access requests. Stay tuned as we roll this out more broadly at the end of this year.
