As a part of our efforts to continually improve our products and creators and viewers build communities together, we are testing several possible updates to the Cheering experience. As a part of this effort, we are testing one of three prototype Cheering updates to a small number of hand-selected channels in order to observe how communities respond and interact with the feature. These three updates are:

• Cheer with Screenshot: viewers can add a creator-selected image to their Cheer to increase the expressiveness of their Cheer in chat.


• Cheer Message Size: viewers can choose how large their Cheer message will appear in chat based on the amount of Bits they use.


• Bits Rain: each Cheer will result in a rain of Bits gems over chat, the intensity of which is determined by the amount of Bits used.

These changes are intended to help us learn how new features like these might improve the experience of Cheering. They will be available only for a short period of time, and will not be expanded more broadly. If you encounter a channel where one of these experiences is available, please feel free to provide your feedback below.
