The YouTube Silver Play Button is a symbol of achievement for creators. To get one, a channel needs to hit 100,000 subscribers. This award is given by YouTube to content creators as recognition for their hard work. It’s important to understand that the Silver Button is awarded based on subscribers, not views. To qualify, channels must also comply with YouTube’s policies, including those on copyright and original content. YouTube will manually review your channel after you hit the subscriber milestone. Once approved, you will be able to claim your Silver Button. Progression continues with Gold (1M), Diamond (10M), and Red Diamond (100M) awards for more subscribers.
