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 referenced in the Creators Award page and it is unknown if such a trophy will be given out to any other YouTuber who surpasses the milestone in the future.[4][5]
