"YouTube is expanding access to its live-stream jewels, while it's also adding some more precise editing tools to give you more creative control over your content. First off, on Jewels, YouTube's live-stream donation option, which it first launched back in 2024 with U.S. creators in its YouTube Partner Program (YPP). Jewels are essentially an in-app currency that enables live-stream viewers to purchase digital stickers that they can then apply during a live stream."
"Jewels are digital items that viewers can purchase to send gifts, and creators earn Rubies based on the Jewels that viewers redeem for gifts. Yeah, it can be slightly confusing with the varying naming conventions here, but essentially, Jewels are a digital currency that viewers can buy to then exchange for in-app stickers, while Rubies are what creators gain from Jewels donations, and they can then be exchanged for real money."
YouTube is expanding its Jewels live-stream donation feature to YouTube Partner Program creators in Canada, adding another monetization option for live-streamers. Jewels function as an in-app currency viewers purchase to send digital stickers during vertical live streams; creators receive Rubies based on redeemed Jewels and can exchange Rubies for real money. The distinctions between Jewels, gifts, and Rubies reflect different roles in the donation flow. YouTube is also enhancing Shorts editing with more precise controls within the video composer, allowing creators to zoom into tracks, adjust element timing, re-arrange clips, and refine clips for tighter creative control.
