Becoming a creator

Anyone with an account can stream — live streaming is open to all registered users. To earn money you’ll also complete payout onboarding and (for subscriptions) join the Creator Program.

Note

Monetization features are being rolled out progressively during the beta. Streaming, chat, and clips are fully open today; the earning steps below light up as the rollout reaches your channel.

The path at a glance

1. Go live — register, confirm your email, and stream from OBS or your encoder. See Going live.
2. Set up payouts — connect a Stripe account so you can receive donations and subscription revenue. See Stripe Connect onboarding.
3. Turn on monetization — accept donations and, once eligible, sell channel subscriptions through the Creator Program.
4. Customise your channel — profile, banner, panels, and emotes. See Channel customisation.

What you can earn from

• Donations — one-off tips from viewers, in a range of payment methods.
• Channel subscriptions — recurring monthly support across tiers, available once your channel reaches Affiliate or Partner status in the Creator Program.

Tip

You can receive donations as soon as monetization setup is complete. Subscriptions additionally require Creator Program eligibility — see Monetization.

Before monetization setup can start, your account needs a confirmed email address and two-factor authentication enabled, and you’ll accept the creator terms (including the content attestation) during the setup flow. Payouts are available for creators in supported countries (EEA, UK, US, Canada, Switzerland at launch).

Uploading videos

Uploading videos (separate from going live) requires access that’s granted manually — request it from your account and it’s reviewed per user. Once you can upload, each video you upload is reviewed and approved before it appears publicly. You can also ask on Discord.
