For YouTubers, the Silver Play Button represents a significant achievement. But how does one earn this prestigious award? The key is reaching 100,000 subscribers on your channel. The Silver Button isn’t awarded based on video views; instead, it recognizes sustained audience growth. To be eligible, channels must comply with YouTube’s community guidelines and monetization policies. This means avoiding copyright infringements and maintaining an active and original content. Once a channel reaches the subscriber threshold, YouTube manually reviews it. If approved, the creator receives a code to claim the Silver Button. YouTube also recognizes creators with Gold (1M subscribers), Diamond (10M subscribers), and Red Diamond (100M subscribers) Play Buttons.
