Do you know which ones are the most important? And how do you get there? There are four main options, including Diamond, Gold, Custom, and Ruby. Hopefully, this article has answered your question! If you don&#8217;t know, just follow these steps. They will help you make the most of your YouTube subscriptions and achieve that one million-subscriber mark!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diamond\"><\/span>Diamond<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One question that is on everyone&#8217;s mind these days is: How many play buttons are in YouTube? It&#8217;s important to understand that not all play buttons are equal, and they all come from different sources. YouTube&#8217;s play buttons are a great way to promote your YouTube videos and show your followers just how awesome you are. To get one of these play buttons, all you have to do is to be active and to post regularly. This is the bare minimum requirement for getting a YouTube play button and one of the key factors for success.<\/p>\n<p>The diamond play button is reserved for the top-tier channels on YouTube. This button is made of silver-plated metal, and has a large crystal in the center. Until December 2016, this award was the highest milestone award for a YouTube channel. The diamond button was the most sought-after YouTube achievement up until that time, but it&#8217;s not an easy task. You&#8217;ll need at least a million subscribers to get the button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold\"><\/span>Gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The YouTube Creator Awards (also known as Plaques and Play Buttons) are presented to creators who are popular on YouTube. The award is based on a subscriber count and is given at YouTube&#8217;s discretion. To apply for the Gold Play Button, you must have a subscription to at least 1000 subscribers. Once you have the Gold Play Button, you can use the award to promote your YouTube channel. To receive the award, follow the instructions below:<\/p>\n<p>YouTube also has a unique program that gives creators a way to make custom play buttons. These custom play buttons can be purchased and designed to fit the theme of your channel. The best part is that they do not reveal the design of the award. These buttons are an important aspect of any YouTube video and should be well designed to match the style of your channel. There are a few key differences between the custom play button and the pre-designed ones.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom\"><\/span>Custom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to customize your YouTube play buttons, you have to reach a certain number of subscribers. YouTube only makes it possible for you to have a custom play button if you have at least 10 million subscribers. After you have this number, you can get one of their exclusive play buttons. If you have less than that number, you will have to get thousands of subscribers first. There are no free play buttons for YouTube anymore.<\/p>\n<p>The first YouTube Play button was made by PewDiePie. It&#8217;s the most popular YouTube button, and it was given to three channels: T-series, a music company in India, PewDiePie, and 5-minute crafts. It&#8217;s important to note that this button is not made of diamond, but of silver-plated metal with a crystal in the middle. This way, it&#8217;s easy to distinguish it from other play buttons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ruby\"><\/span>Ruby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a total of three official types of play buttons available on YouTube: ruby, gold, and silver. Each of these buttons is reserved for creators with more than fifty million subscribers. However, only three channels have reached that number. Those are PewDiePie, T-Series, and 5-Minute Crafts. Although all three of them have millions of subscribers, they are only official play buttons on YouTube and are not publicly listed.<\/p>\n<p>The custom play button, also known as the ruby play button, was first claimed by PewDiePie. It was a ruby color, and the unboxing video for his custom button received 86 million views. In January, Mr. Beast reached 50 million subscribers, and he was given this play button, which is now referred to as the ruby play button. Currently, there are three custom play buttons on YouTube, and one of them has been around for a few years.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PvIfGKLw1ZM\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"203\" width=\"364\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Play Buttons Are There in YouTube?
