  • Point Badges: These small images appear next to your YouTube username when you write a comment or participate in a live chat. Badges help you stand out from other users and are a way to promote your channel.
  • Exclusive Emojis: Some YouTube channels offer special emojis that members can use on their YouTube app or website. Like loyalty badges, these typically feature unique artwork not found elsewhere and may incorporate a person or phrase known to a particular YouTube channel's audience.
