YouTube is working on a way to boost audience engagement during livestreams. Its solution aims to gamify engagement by introducing a new leaderboard.
YouTube is running a test that will bring an engagement leaderboard to some creators’ livestreams. According to the announcement, this leaderboard will show the top 50 most engaged viewers on that channel. Viewers will be able to earn points by engaging (e.g. comments, super chats, etc.) during a stream, and they’ll see the points they earned through a crown icon at the top of the chat. The post doesn’t clarify if some types of engagement are worth more points than others.
