Subscribers are viewers who support your channel through a recurring monthly subscription.

Subscribers receive various benefits, and some benefits can be customized directly by the streamer.

You can manage Subscriber Benefits in CI.ME Studio → \[Viewer Management] → \[Subscriber Benefits].

## **Tier Benefits**

Tier 2 subscribers can access Tier 2 Exclusive Emoticons and customize their nickname color.

### **Subscriber-Only Content**

* Subscriber-only live streams: Go to \[Studio>Live Stream>Go Live>Viewing Access] and set the viewing access to Tier 1 or higher or Tier 2 or higher.
* Subscriber-only replays:
  * If replays are set to Auto Publish: The viewing access set for the live stream will also apply to the replay.
  * If replays are set to Review & Publish: Go to \[Studio>Content>Past Broadcasts>Edit Replay], set the viewing access to Tier 1 or higher or Tier 2 or higher, and then publish the replay.
* Clips created from subscriber-only live streams/replays: Clips follow the viewing access settings of the live stream or replay at the time the clip is created.

### **Subscription Badges**

Subscribers earn badges based on how long they have been subscribed. These badges appear next to their username in chat.

* You can offer up to 60 Tier 1 emojis and up to 35 Tier 2 emojis.
