To check recent Super Chat and Super Sticker purchases, open Earn > Supers in YouTube Studio and review Your Super Chat and Super Sticker activity. To see reported Supers revenue, use the separate Analytics > Revenue > How you make money path; the two views serve different purposes.
A Live-only Analytics filter can make revenue reports unavailable, so change the filter when you need the Supers revenue report. For a continuous 24/7 stream, do not assume that YouTube treats the broadcast as one video or automatically divides it into a particular set of reporting periods: its guidance does not specify a special segmentation rule.
Open Earn > Supers for purchase activity
Sign in to YouTube Studio on a computer using the account that owns the channel. In the left-hand menu, select Earn, then Supers. Look for Your Super Chat and Super Sticker activity. This is the documented place to inspect recent purchase activity, rather than the channel’s revenue report.
You need access to the channel’s Studio account. If the menu or feature is not present, first check that you are signed into the correct channel. Supers are fan-funding features associated with YouTube’s monetisation programme, and availability depends on the channel’s eligibility and settings. Do not infer that a channel can receive Supers simply because it is based in India or broadcasts live. YouTube’s monetisation guidance describes the programme and its requirements; check the current Earn area in your own Studio for channel-specific status.
The activity page is useful when your question is about a particular recent purchase: whether an item appears in the list, what transaction information Studio provides, or which recent activity you need to review. It is not the same as a period-based revenue report. YouTube says this Studio activity view covers purchases from the past 30 days. If you are trying to answer a question about an older purchase, a selected month, or total reported revenue, use the Analytics route as well and do not assume the activity list will provide a complete historical ledger.
For a channel that runs a devotional loop or regional music station around the clock, it helps to separate the audience-facing broadcast from the Studio task. The live stream is where a viewer may send a Super Chat or buy a Super Sticker; Studio is where you inspect activity and reporting after the purchase. If you are still planning the channel’s audience journey, this guide to turning viewers of a 24/7 regional music stream into subscribers covers a different question from the transaction checks here.
Review recent Super Chat and Sticker transactions
Once the activity section is open, scan the listed Super Chat and Super Sticker purchases. Treat it as a recent-activity view, not as a live payment notification system and not as a complete account of the channel’s earnings. The list can help you find the purchase-level information YouTube makes available for the covered period, but the details you see should be read as Studio transaction activity, not as a final answer to every accounting question.
That distinction matters when a viewer says they sent a Super Chat during a long broadcast. Start by checking the recent activity list, then compare the period and reporting context if you are reconciling a larger total. A viewer’s message, the purchase activity shown in Studio, and revenue reporting are related, but they are not interchangeable records. Avoid calculating a final payout by adding displayed purchases together without accounting for YouTube’s definitions, adjustments, applicable deductions, or reporting window.
YouTube states that creators receive 70% of Supers revenue confirmed by Google. Its help guidance qualifies this as being calculated after local sales tax and iOS App Store fees are deducted, and says YouTube currently covers transaction costs. This is a general statement from YouTube, not a calculation of the net amount payable to an India-based creator. It should not be used to estimate an individual payout from a purchase list. For the current explanation, consult YouTube’s Super Chat and Super Stickers help page.
If the channel is used for a community service, music station, study stream or small business, keep your own notes about which dates you checked and what question you were answering. That is particularly useful when several people manage the channel, or when someone is comparing a viewer’s message with a later Analytics total. Notes do not change YouTube’s reported figures, but they help prevent an activity check from being mistaken for a settled revenue reconciliation.
Use See all for available transaction details
Select See all from the activity area when you need the expanded transaction information YouTube makes available. The control is a way to open more of the available activity details; it does not extend the documented activity window beyond the past 30 days. Nor does it turn the activity list into the Analytics revenue report.
A practical sequence is to first note the relevant date or purchase you are checking, then open See all, and review the fields Studio presents. If the item you expect is not visible, check whether it falls inside the activity window, whether you are signed into the right channel, and whether you have allowed for the difference between purchase activity and revenue reporting. Do not assume that every detail needed for tax, payment reconciliation or an older-period audit is supplied by this view.
The available transaction details may be enough to answer a straightforward question about recent activity. If you need a total for a chosen reporting period, switch to Analytics instead. If you need to understand how a 24/7 stream was represented as a video or videos, the official guidance cited here does not establish a special rule for continuous broadcasts. Keep the question narrow: inspect recent transactions in Supers, and inspect revenue using the reporting route.
This is also a useful point to avoid confusing the activity page with the live production setup. A stream can be made from an uploaded loop or managed through a computer-based workflow, but those choices do not alter which Studio view reports purchases. For example, creators deciding between a continuous broadcast and a prepared mix can read about YouTube radio livestreams versus uploaded radio mixes; either format still calls for the same careful distinction between activity and revenue reporting.
Open Analytics > Revenue for Supers reporting
For revenue reporting, open Analytics, choose Revenue, and look under How you make money for the Supers report. This is the documented route for reported Supers revenue. It is separate from Earn > Supers, whose activity list is for recent purchases. If you go to one path expecting the other view’s purpose, the information can appear missing even though you are simply in the wrong report.
Analytics is where you should frame a question around a date range or reported revenue total, subject to the periods and filters the interface offers. Select the period that matches your question when the controls allow it, and note what period is selected before comparing the result with another view. A daily check, a month-to-date review and an older-period comparison are not necessarily the same query. Do not assume the reporting window in the activity view and the selected Analytics period have identical coverage.
A 24/7 broadcast does not create a documented exception to this navigation. The official help pages explain the standard Supers activity and revenue routes, but do not say that a continuous stream is always one Analytics item or that YouTube divides it into fixed daily sessions. If you need to attribute revenue to a specific programme, date, or stream segment, first establish what videos and date ranges are actually visible in your Studio account. Do not infer segmentation from the fact that the broadcast itself never intentionally stops.
If you are troubleshooting the broadcast rather than revenue reporting, keep that work separate. Stream key resets, encoder interruptions and video continuity can affect the operational history of a channel, but they do not change the documented path to the Supers report. This guide to whether a 24/7 service can resume after a YouTube stream key reset is relevant to recovery planning, not to interpreting the revenue table.
Change filters when Live reports are unavailable
If you open a revenue report and find that it is unavailable while Analytics is filtered to Live, change the filter. YouTube says revenue reports are unavailable when filtering for Live. Try Live and on demand, or another report and filter combination that supports revenue. The point is not to claim that a Live-filtered revenue report exists; the filter itself can prevent the revenue report from appearing.
This is a common source of confusion because Studio offers live-stream performance reporting as well as channel revenue reporting. A creator may be looking at the performance of a live video and expect a revenue breakdown to be displayed on that same screen. But the Live metrics context is not the dedicated Supers revenue route. Return to Analytics > Revenue > How you make money and adjust the selection if the report is not available under the current filter.
YouTube’s live metrics guidance explains that live-stream analytics are associated with video-level metrics and that revenue reports are unavailable when filtering for Live. See its guidance for viewing live stream metrics for the current description of those reports. Interface labels may change, so use the current Studio screen and YouTube’s help rather than relying on an old screenshot or a remembered menu position.
When checking a 24/7 channel, resist the urge to keep changing filters until some number appears and then treat it as the answer. Record which filter and reporting period produced the visible report. A report with a different scope may be useful, but it answers a different question. If you cannot make the Supers report appear with an applicable revenue view, check YouTube’s current help and the channel’s access or monetisation status rather than assuming that a missing report means no purchase took place.
Interpret reporting windows and video-level metrics
The two routes differ in purpose and coverage. Use the comparison below as a quick reminder before you reconcile a viewer’s purchase with a channel total.
| Studio view | Where to find it | What it is for | Time or filter point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supers activity | Earn > Supers | Recent Super Chat and Super Sticker purchase activity | YouTube documents the view as covering the past 30 days |
| Supers revenue report | Analytics > Revenue > How you make money | Reported revenue from Supers | Select an applicable reporting period; a Live-only filter can make revenue reports unavailable |
| Live-stream metrics | Analytics live-stream reporting | Performance metrics associated with a live video | Video-level context, not the dedicated Supers revenue route |
Video-level metrics need careful interpretation. YouTube describes live-stream metrics in relation to video IDs, and says those metrics are processed and despammed. They may appear within minutes after a stream ends, can be downloaded as a CSV, and may differ from what Live Control Room showed. Those details make the metrics useful for reviewing a broadcast’s performance, but they do not make the live metrics report a substitute for the Supers revenue report.
For a channel that stays live continuously, make the reporting question explicit. Are you checking whether recent purchases appear? Use Earn > Supers. Are you checking reported Supers revenue for a period? Use Analytics > Revenue and select an applicable period. Are you checking how a live video performed? Review the live metrics for the video-level data, while keeping in mind the difference from Live Control Room. These questions can overlap in time without being answered by the same Studio screen.
YouTube’s cited documentation does not establish a special 24/7 segmentation rule. It does not say that a continuous broadcast will always be represented as one reporting unit, or that it is automatically divided into a particular set of sessions. If a precise date total matters, set the desired Analytics period where available and inspect the video or videos Studio actually exposes. Avoid allocating an amount to a particular overnight segment unless the report gives you evidence for that allocation.
Finally, treat reported revenue as a YouTube reporting figure rather than an immediate bank settlement amount. The stated 70% share applies to confirmed Supers revenue after the deductions YouTube describes; it is not an India-specific net payout estimate and does not account for an individual creator’s circumstances. Check the current official documentation and your own account records when making a financial decision. If your broader channel plan includes a study or ambience loop, the guide to using an Indian cloud streaming service for a YouTube study music channel addresses broadcast operations, while this article remains focused on Studio reporting.

FAQ
Where do I see Super Chat revenue in YouTube Studio?
Open Analytics > Revenue > How you make money and review the Supers report. For individual recent purchase activity, use Earn > Supers instead; it is a different view.
How do I check Super Chat earnings for my livestream?
Use the Analytics revenue route for reported Supers revenue, and choose an applicable reporting period. Use the Earn activity page to inspect recent purchases, rather than treating its transaction list as the revenue report.
Why can’t I see revenue when Analytics is set to Live?
YouTube says revenue reports are unavailable when Analytics is filtered to Live. Try Live and on demand or another applicable report selection, then review the Supers report under Revenue.
Can I see all Super Chats from the last 30 days?
YouTube documents the Supers activity view as covering the past 30 days, and See all opens the available transaction information within that view. It does not mean that the activity page contains all historical purchases or that it is the same as a period-based revenue report.
