Super Chat lets eligible viewers buy highlighted messages during live streams and Premieres, while Super Stickers are paid animated images in live chat. YouTube says creators receive 70% of confirmed Supers revenue after local sales tax and iOS App Store fees are deducted. Eligibility depends on location, age, the Commerce Product Module, and the individual video's settings.
Super Chat is a paid YouTube feature that lets viewers purchase highlighted messages during eligible live streams and Premieres. Super Stickers are paid animated images shown in the same live-chat environment. Placement and display depend on YouTube's current product rules and the purchase.
YouTube reports that creators receive 70% of confirmed Supers revenue after local sales tax and iOS App Store fees are deducted. Transaction costs such as credit-card fees are currently covered by YouTube. Use the Revenue area in YouTube Analytics for confirmed amounts rather than estimating from what appeared in chat.
Eligibility depends on YouTube's current fan-funding requirements, the creator's age and location, acceptance of the Commerce Product Module, and the individual video's settings. Supers are unavailable on some videos, including cases where live chat is disabled. Check the Earn area in YouTube Studio for the channel's actual access.
Creators can acknowledge Supers and use them to support conversation, but paid messages still follow live-chat moderation and Community Guidelines. Track confirmed revenue by stream alongside audience and content outcomes; a purchase does not guarantee that a question will be answered or that a live format is successful.

A gaming channel reviews its confirmed Supers revenue by stream and notes which formats produce useful audience interaction. The creator acknowledges support without promising access, outcomes, or preferential treatment that would undermine moderation.
A Q&A channel uses Supers as an optional support feature while applying the same safety, moderation, and disclosure rules to paid and unpaid questions. It tracks confirmed revenue separately from audience and content outcomes.
