Youtube rolled out a new feature Super Chat that allows viewers to make sure that their comments are seen by the creators and the same time creators can monetize their streams. In general, during live streams, it is nearly impossible to get our comments noticed by the creators. But Super Chat makes it possible, although it comes with a price tag.
Anyone watching Live stream can purchase Super Chat; a highlighted message that stands out from the crowd and allows to get noticed by the creators. The comments will stay on the top of the live stream for up to 5 hours thereby increases the chances to get noticed by your favorite creators. It also provides a way for creators to make money from their live streams. The super chat feature is available on only a few select channels.Youtube is planning to launch super chat for creators in 20 countries and viewers of more than 40 countries by the end of January.
