YouTube Prepares to Launch 'Jewels' Live Stream Gifting Process
Briefly

Gifts are engaging animations that viewers can send on your vertical live streams, showing their appreciation in real-time. Jewels enable real-time engagement through bundle purchases, removing the need to purchase more every time viewers want to express themselves in the moment and send a gift.
When viewers use Jewels to send gifts, you get Rubies - which represent your earnings. 1 Ruby = 1 cent. So for every 100 Rubies you receive, you get $1!
The amount a user pays for Jewels varies based on the bundles that they purchase and any viewer promotions we may be running. Therefore, there isn't a fixed effective revenue share like we have for other features like Super Chats & channel memberships that have set prices.
This also means only U.S. viewers are currently eligible to purchase Jewels and send gifts, although all viewers will be able to see the gifts sent during the live stream.
