Superchat is a way for fans to pay YouTube live streamers in return for pinning their comment on those live streams.

Hi there, I really have a weird one here. Whenever I start a Youtube Livestream using OBS it works with the audio 100% in sync, however, whenever a Superchat or new Membership comes through on the livestream, that creates a countdown bar at the top of the Youtube comments then the audio goes. Super Chat and Super Stickers are ways to monetize your channel through the YouTube Partner Program. These features let your viewers purchase chat messages that stand out and sometimes pin t.

Launched in January of 2017, Super Chat gives viewers the ability to pay for their comment to be pinned and highlighted at the top of the live chat.
In order to have their comment pinned viewers
- Select the dollar sign within a live chat
- Click 'send a super chat'
- Select the amount they want to pay
- And confirm by selecting 'buy and send'
From there, anyone watching the stream will see the comment. They can also see the corresponding payment highlighted at the top of the chat box.
YouTube marketed this as a way for creators and their 'super fans' (fans who are willing to pay for attention) to deepen their relationships and more easily connect.
How Much Do The YouTubers Receive?
Super Chat payments can range between $1 and $500 each. YouTube takes 30% of the revenue, and this isn't considering any apple service fees, tax, MCN cuts or other charges.
How Creators Can Use Super Chat
Larger YouTubers whose fans find it difficult to get attention will likely benefit from this feature the most. Whereas smaller YouTuber's live chats are likely to be less cluttered, so viewers won't find it as difficult to have their normal comment read – reducing the incentive to pay for this feature.
If you are a small YouTuber, that doesn't mean it isn't worth trailing however. There are a few things you could can do to increase your Super Chats and better monetise your live streams. To play spanish.
Promote Your Live Streams
The more people there are watching your live stream in real-time, the more likely you are to receive super chat donations. It's important therefore that you let your audience know about your live stream beforehand. Promote it in videos, let them know on social media, host the live stream at a convenient time for your viewers, and do your best to get the most live viewers you can.
Include A Q&A Section
Give your viewers an incentive to have their comment read by providing them with value back, in this case; in the form of an answer to their question. Ask your viewers for questions during the chat, and ensure that you answer the questions of your super chat users.
Provide Content Incentives
Give your viewers a reason to donate by providing them with an incentive. This could be in the form of a new piece of content, continuing your live stream, or providing content within the live stream that they find valuable. Or it may just be a shout out and thank you to the person who has made the donation.
Critiques Of Super Chat
Live stream chats were originally designed to help foster relationships between creators and their community in an egalitarian way. All viewers were provided the same opportunity to have their message read. The introduction of Super Chat removes this even playing field. Giving viewers who are willing to open their wallets a higher chance of having their voices heard.
Smaller YouTubers who are most often in need of the monetary support, likely won't benefit from this feature nearly as much as their larger counterparts. Smaller creators with smaller fan bases will find their livestream chats easier to read and interact with – so viewers will be less likely to donate.
