- 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, third, fifth, tenth, and twentieth 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.
- To opt out of sharing celebration milestones on your computer, navigate to your Privacy settings, go to the Live Chat section, and toggle on Disable Super Chat and Super Stickers celebrations.
- A creator or other viewers can interact with your Super Chat in the live chat feed, by “Hearting”, “Liking”, or “Replying” to it. If a user likes a Super Chat message, the "like" will appear in the live stream, but is not saved or kept afterwards, e.g., it will not appear in myactivity.google.com or in the replay of the live stream. You’ll be able to find your replies to a Super Chat at myactivity.google.com under your account. If the livestream has replay with chat enabled, you’ll be able to see Super Chat replies while viewing the replay.
