Room Subscriptions started rolling out for creators on February 12.

What are Room Subscriptions?

Room Subscriptions allow members to purchase premium ongoing benefits in a room while supporting the room’s creators.

How Room Subscriptions work

1. If a room wishes to sell subscriptions, they can set a price and begin offering premium benefits to their paying monthly subscribers.
2. Room subscribers earn special recognition in the room with visual distinction and prioritization in chat, viewer lists and stages etc.
3. Room creators can configure subscriber-only benefits like subscriber events, subscriber chat, subscriber stage and subscriber replays.
4. Room creators receive Room Subscriptions revenue via their selected payout method.
   1. After payment processor* fees, 70% goes to the room and 30% goes to Playback.
   2. *Stripe takes ~3% on web, Apple takes ~15% on iOS, Google takes ~15% on Android

Launch a Room Subscription

At this time, Room Subscriptions are available to rooms participating in the Playback Creator Partner program. Learn more about the Playback Creator Partner Program here.

As a room owner, go to your room Settings and open Room Subscriptions under the Monetization section. Tap “Create subscription” and add your subscription details. You can only create one subscription per room now. Playback will be adding support for multiple subscription tiers soon.

You can customize the appearance of your subscribers in your room by uploading a badge and selecting a color.

You can set any price between $3-$200 USD per month.
