YouTube Play Buttons, a part of the YouTube Creator Rewards,[1] are a recognition by YouTube of its most popular channels.

These are distinct from the YouTube Awards, which are intended to recognize the best quality videos; YouTube Creator Rewards are based solely on a channel's subscriber count.

Awards

When a verified YouTuber reaches a specific milestone, they are awarded a relatively flat trophy in a metal casing with a YouTube play button symbol. The trophies are of different sizes: each button and plaque gets progressively bigger the more subscribers the channel gets.[2]

There are currently three different tiers of rewards,[1] plus a fourth that has been awarded just once:

  1. The Silver Play Button, for channels that surpass 100,000 subscribers. The old version was made of nickel-plated cupronickel alloy.[3]
  2. The Gold Play Button, for channels that surpass 1,000,000 subscribers. It is made of gold-plated brass.[3]
  3. The Diamond Play Button, for channels that surpass 10,000,000 subscribers. Made of silver-plated metal inset with a large piece of crystal in the shape of a play button triangle.
  4. The Ruby Play Button. In December 2016, YouTuber PewDiePie received a ruby trophy as a gift for reaching 50,000,000 subscribers. It was made in the shape of his channel's logo: a hand giving a "bro fist", or a fist bump. It also came with several mini-awards to be gifted to subscribers that had been subscribed the longest and were still active. it is not apparent whether it is an official award.[4][5]
