What Are YouTube Play Button Awards?
YouTube recognizes creators who reach major subscriber milestones by awarding them physical Play Button trophies. These awards are a badge of honor in the creator community and represent different levels of channel growth:
| Award | Subscribers | Material |
|---|---|---|
| 🥈 Silver Play Button | 100,000 | Silver-plated metal plaque |
| 🥇 Gold Play Button | 1,000,000 | Gold-plated metal plaque |
| 💎 Diamond Play Button | 10,000,000 | Silver play button with large crystal |
| 🔴 Ruby Play Button | 50,000,000 | Red crystal shaped like a play button |
| ❤️🔥 Red Diamond Play Button | 100,000,000 | Custom trophy — only a handful exist worldwide |
This tool automatically calculates which Play Button a channel has earned and shows progress toward the next milestone, making it easy to track channel growth at a glance.
Key YouTube Channel Metrics Explained
Subscriber Count
The total number of users who have subscribed to a channel. This is the most visible measure of a channel's audience size. YouTube may abbreviate subscriber counts for channels over 1,000 subscribers (e.g., showing "1.23M" instead of "1,234,567"). Some creators choose to hide their subscriber count.
Total Views
The cumulative number of times all videos on the channel have been watched. This is a lifetime metric that includes views from all videos since the channel was created. High total views relative to subscriber count can indicate strong content performance or viral videos.
Video Count
The total number of public videos uploaded to the channel. This includes regular uploads, Shorts, and live stream recordings that remain public. Deleted, unlisted, or private videos are not counted.
Average Views per Video
Calculated by dividing total views by total videos. This gives a rough measure of per-video performance. Note that this is a lifetime average — older channels with many videos may show lower averages because early videos often have fewer views, while a single viral video can skew the average upward.
Views per Subscriber
The ratio of total views to subscriber count. A higher ratio (e.g., 100x or more) often indicates that a channel's content reaches well beyond its subscriber base through search, recommendations, or viral sharing. A lower ratio (e.g., 5-10x) is common for newer or niche channels.

What is the average views per video metric?

Can I check statistics for any YouTube channel?
You can check statistics for any public YouTube channel. Some channels may hide their subscriber count, in which case the subscriber number will show as hidden while other stats remain visible. The tool accepts channel URLs, @handles, channel IDs, and custom URLs.
How often are YouTube channel statistics updated?
