YouTube no longer creates custom play buttons. You can only create a button if you have at least 10 million subscribers. To get a custom play button, you must have more than that. For this to be possible, you need to gain thousands of subscribers. Here are a few ways to make your own Play Button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_Diamond_Creator_Award\"><\/span>Red Diamond Creator Award<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has made the Red Diamond Creator Award a coveted award for online video content creators. The award features a diamond-shaped play button in the middle of a dark red crystal. Only a handful of channels have ever been awarded the award. In 2018, YouTube honored T-Series and PewDiePie, but this year, Cocomelon became the first Indian YouTuber to win this prize. The award also features a special play button, which is made of aluminum and crystal-shaped to resemble the YouTube logo.<\/p>\n<p>The award is given only to YouTube channels that have reached 100 million subscribers. It is presented in partnership with Baccarat, the luxury crystal house, and is mounted on a hand-polished black nickel aluminum form. The award is one of the most sought-after in the world, but is not widely known by the public. While the YouTubers who have won it deserve their prize, there are some important criteria to be met before receiving the award.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_Play_Button\"><\/span>Gold Play Button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Gold Play Button on YouTube is the ultimate goal for many YouTube creators. It is an award for the highest-ranking YouTube channels. These awards, also known as YouTube Plaques and Play Buttons, are given to the most popular YouTube channels based on their subscriber count. They are given at the discretion of YouTube. To qualify for a Gold Play Button, you must reach at least 100,000 subscribers. Listed below are some tips on how to earn this honor.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the Gold Play Button on YouTube is a great way to prove your dedication to your fans. If you can reach a million subscribers, you&#8217;ve achieved something special. The Gold Play Button on YouTube is made of gold plated brass and is slightly larger than the silver play button. You can get one for yourself by following a few simple steps. If you aren&#8217;t sure how to get one, just keep at it. The reward is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silver_Play_Button\"><\/span>Silver Play Button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you have 10K subscribers on YouTube, it&#8217;s not enough to be a famous brand, you also need to have a silver play button. YouTube&#8217;s play button is made of silver-plated metal, and it is inset with a piece of colorless crystal. When it was introduced during VidCon 2015, there were only 35 channels that qualified for the award, and now, you can have one, too!<\/p>\n<p>The silver play button is custom-made and made with a 3D printer. It&#8217;s then painted red, and framed for added beauty. There&#8217;s also a gold version, but it&#8217;s a little more expensive, at $78. If you&#8217;d like to own a silver play button, however, you can use your YouTube account to get it. Once you hit 100,000 subscribers, you&#8217;ll receive an email to inform you of your win.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_Play_Button\"><\/span>Custom Play Button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to get more subscribers on YouTube, you can consider designing a custom play button for your video. The play button will have a design that matches your channel&#8217;s theme. If you want to get extra subscribers, you can even get an award-winning button! But make sure you follow the guidelines of YouTube to get the play button. After all, you don&#8217;t want your viewers to guess what your award is. It&#8217;s not worth it if no one watches your video!<\/p>\n<p>The first step to creating your custom YouTube play button is to create an account on the site. After that, you can choose a theme that fits your channel. You can also use one that matches the color of your channel&#8217;s theme. But, you should note that this feature is only available for channel owners who have at least 50 million subscribers. You don&#8217;t want to create your channel&#8217;s play button to be a clumsy design, which might lead to a bad experience.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mQmz0-oCi7Y\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"365\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make Your Own Play Buttons If you want to customize your YouTube channel, you should make your own Play Button.
