Gift Subscriptions let you purchase a subscription for another viewer in a channel.

You can choose a specific viewer to receive the gift or send it to a random eligible viewer in the community.

Recipients of a Gift Subscription receive one month of subscriber benefits, just like a regular subscriber.

Gift Subscription Perks

When you purchase a Gift Subscription, you'll receive one Gift Subscription Message that can be used to trigger a special on-stream animation and sound effect.

You'll also earn special gift-giver badges based on the total number of subscriptions you've gifted. Gift counts are weighted differently by subscription tier:

  • Tier 1: Each gifted subscription counts as 1 gift

  • Tier 2: Each gifted subscription counts as 3 gifts

Ways to Gift

You can send Gift Subscriptions in two ways:

  • Gift a subscription to a specific viewer

  • Gift a subscription to a random eligible viewer

Restrictions

Gift Subscriptions cannot be sent to:

  • Viewers who are already subscribed to the channel

  • Accounts that have been banned from the channel

  • The channel owner's account
