YouTube begins testing the ability to reply to a Super Chats message

YouTube announced early last week that it had begun testing an improvement to the feature based on Dream Track AI, which will allow users to create an instrumental-only soundtrack in Shorts. A few days later, the media company revealed another experimental feature that will be offered to select users.

As the title suggests, the new feature currently being tested allows YouTube users to reply to a Super Chat message during a live stream or premiere. According to the company, only a small group of users will benefit from this new feature and be able to play Super Chats again.

On the plus side, YouTube has confirmed plans to roll out the new feature more widely in the coming months, meaning its testing is almost complete.

If you are one of the lucky users who got access to the new feature, you will notice that once you reply to a Super Chat message, that reply will appear in the live stream and will be treated as a live chat message when you are in the live stream. live archives.
