How to Activate Super Thanks!

Enabling Super Thanks for Your Channel

Super Thanks provides an additional way for your community to support your work financially by leaving a “Thanks” on your videos. However, this feature is not enabled by default for every channel. To begin receiving these contributions, Creators must manually activate the feature within their account settings.

Eligibility and Requirements

Before attempting to enable this feature, it is important to ensure that your channel meets the necessary criteria. Super Thanks is available to Creators who are members of the YouTube Partner Program. Being part of this program is a prerequisite for accessing the various monetization tools and fan funding options provided by the platform.

Step-by-Step Activation Guide

If you are a member of the Partner Program, you can activate Super Thanks by following these steps within your dashboard:

1. Access YouTube Studio: Log into your account and open the YouTube Studio dashboard.
2. Navigate to Monetization: In the left-hand menu, locate and click on the “Monetization” section. This area houses all the tools related to how you earn revenue from your content.
3. Open the Supers Tab: Within the Monetization menu, look for the tab labeled “Supers.” This specific section is dedicated to fan funding features.

Managing Your Super Settings

Once you have entered the “Supers” tab, you will find a management interface that allows you to control your fan funding preferences.

Rather than a single “on/off” switch for all features, YouTube provides the flexibility to activate or deactivate individual Supers. This means you can choose specifically whether to enable Super Thanks while managing other “Super” features independently. By toggling these settings, you can decide exactly how you want your audience to interact with your monetization tools based on your current channel strategy.

By following these steps in YouTube Studio, you ensure that the Super Thanks option is visible to your viewers, allowing them to support your channel directly through your uploaded videos.
