Ever wondered how to actually track the Rubies you earn from gifts sent during your YouTube live streams? While YouTube makes it easy for viewers to send gifts using Jewels, finding your actual Ruby earnings breakdown in YouTube Studio isn't completely obvious. In this tutorial, we dive into YouTube Studio on both desktop and mobile to track your exact Ruby counts per stream.
What you’ll learn in this video:
- The Ruby Breakdown: How viewer Jewels convert into creator Rubies (2 Jewels = 1 Ruby, where 1 Ruby = 1 US cent).
- Desktop Tracking: How to use Advanced Mode in YouTube Studio desktop analytics to add the Rubies metric to your content breakdown.
- Mobile Tracking: Where to locate the dedicated Rubies Earned card inside the YouTube Studio mobile app.
- Data Processing: Why your recent live stream Ruby stats might take 2–3 days to finalize.
