Buy a Super Chat or Super Sticker

Follow these instructions to buy a Super Chat or Super Sticker on your computer:
  1. Click the dollar sign within a live chat. The live chat must be visible.
  2. Select one of the following:​
    1. Super Sticker and then find a sticker pack that you like and then choose an individual sticker to purchase.
    2. Super Chat and then to select an amount, either drag the slider or type your desired value and then add an optional message.
      • The colour and amount of time pinned at the top of a chat feed changes depending on how much you spend. 
  3. Click Buy and send.
  4. To finish your purchase, follow the instructions.

Once you've bought a Super Chat or Super Sticker:

  • Depending on the purchase value, we may pin your Super Chat or Super Sticker at the top of the live chat feed. A countdown ticker will show how much longer your Super Chat or Super Sticker will be pinned. The creator may end the live chat or live stream before your time in the ticker has completed. Super Stickers and Super Chats don't transfer between videos.
  • As part of your Super Chat or Super Sticker purchase, we may publicly announce a purchase milestone, such as the first time that you buy a Super Chat, so that others can celebrate your milestone. Before you buy, you'll get a preview of the milestone celebration announcement. Your milestones are based on your purchase history, which is located in My Activity.
  • A creator or other viewers can interact with your Super Chat in the live chat feed, by 'hearting' or 'liking' it. If a user 'likes' a Super Chat message, it will appear in the live stream, but is not saved or kept afterwards, e.g., in the archive of the live stream.
Notes:
  • Your Super Chat or Super Sticker, channel name, profile picture and purchase amount are visible to the public.
  • Like everything on YouTube, the Super Chats and Super Stickers that you send must comply with our Community Guidelines.
  • YouTube will note the number of purchases that you make, so that you can be publicly recognised for purchase milestones. If you do not want to participate in purchase milestones, go to My Activity to remove your historical purchase data.

Purchases less than US$5 (or your local equivalent) will not appear in the ticker.
