Gifts provide a new way to earn and engage with your community on immersive live streams. They allow viewers to express themselves, show their appreciation, and connect with you in real time. Your viewers can send different types of gifts, from static illustrations to gift effects. When a viewer sends a gift, unlocked by purchasing Jewels, you can earn Rubies.
Please note that the types of gifts available may change based on seasonality and availability. If you're eligible, learn how to turn on gifts and manage these features.
Gift features
Standard gifts & interactive effects
These are the foundational gifts your viewers can send using Jewels to provide direct support. Some standard gifts also include interactive effects, which add a brief visual animation to your stream. These effects often respond to your movements, creating a dynamic, real-time moment.
Your viewers can identify these gifts by a purple “sparkle” icon in the gift picker.
Gift effects
Gift effects blend digital elements with your real-world environment during a live stream. When a viewer sends a gift effect, it appears on-screen and interacts with your space, adding a new layer of engagement for both you and your community.
Limited time gifts
These are limited-time gifts that are themed around holidays, special events, or other occasions. Seasonal gifts come with unique designs and animations, allowing your community to celebrate specific times of the year on your live streams.
Gift combos
Gift combos allow viewers to send multiple gifts in a pre-packaged sequence. This provides a way for your audience to create a larger, more impactful display of support on your stream.
Here's how it works:
- Start a combo: Send a gift to begin the combo.
- Combo button: A Combo button will appear for the gifter, giving them the option to continue the combo.
- Continue gifting: Tapping the Combo button sends the gift again.
- Combo counter visible to all: A combo counter will be displayed for everyone in the live stream, showcasing the growing support. The gift is also pinned to the screen as long as the combo is active.
Why use gift combos
Gift combos amplify the live stream experience by fostering community spirit and providing a new avenue for viewers to visibly support creators. Gift combos allow you to:
- Enhance Community Engagement: Gift combos offer a fun and interactive way for viewers to participate in the live stream experience together, creating a shared moment of excitement.
- Build Community: By showcasing support in a visible and engaging way, gift combos can help strengthen connections between viewers and creators, and among viewers themselves.
- Show Support: Repeat gifting provides an opportunity for viewers to show continuous support for their favorite creators.
