Memberships are YouTube\u2019s take on Twitch\u2019s subscriptions, which viewers can use to show financial support for creators and get access to certain perks like custom emoji. Twitch users have been able to buy gift subscriptions for some time, but if you\u2019ve wanted to buy gift memberships to other fans of a YouTube channel, you haven\u2019t been able to. <\/p>\n The memberships gifting beta will be available to a \u201csmall group of creators\u201d to start and will be expanded to more \u201cover the next several months,\u201d YouTube says on a page about the feature<\/a>. Channels interested in trying the feature can fill out this Google Form<\/a>, though you\u2019ll need to already be eligible to enable memberships in the first place, which has its own set of requirements<\/a>. And gifting will only be available for viewers using a desktop browser window to start \u2014 buying gift memberships on mobile is something YouTube plans to have in place for the feature\u2019s full launch.<\/p>\n Viewers will also have to opt-in to be able to receive gifted memberships on a channel (which could be a way to prevent harassment, like the changes YouTube made to its version of raids<\/a>). Gifted memberships will appear in the chat, and you\u2019ll have to click a link and then a toggle to allow gifts. You can get an idea of what the experience looks like in this screenshot, taken from a GIF from YouTube:<\/p>\n
