What is a Stream Boost and how does it work?

A Stream Boost shows a live stream to more people for a set time. You can boost anyone's stream while you watch it, and your own while you're live.

Phone app

Boost someone else's stream

  1. On their stream, tap Tip and switch to the Boost tab. You can also tap More, then Boost.
  2. Choose a boost and confirm.

Boost your own stream

  1. While you're live, tap More.
  2. Tap Boost, choose a boost and confirm. Your stream shows Boosted while it runs.

Desktop app, Website

Boost someone else's stream

  1. On their stream, click Tip.
  2. Switch to the Boost tab, choose a boost and confirm.

To boost your own stream while you're live, click Boost under your stream (on a phone browser, open More, then Boost this stream).

Boost sizes

  • Stream Boost: 50 coins for 15 minutes.
  • Super Boost: 150 coins for 30 minutes.
  • Mega Boost: 500 coins for 60 minutes.

Good to know

  • If you have a boost token, it's offered first. You get tokens for levelling up. They cost no coins and work on anyone's stream.
  • Boost coins (from ads and your plan) are spent before your other coins.
  • You can add another boost while one is running. Once a stream reaches the most extra reach a boost can give, another boost adds more time instead.
  • Going live doesn't cost anything. A boost is always your choice.
