YouTube Play Buttons act as a creator reward for hitting a chosen number of subscribers as being recognized by YouTube. These are distinct from the YouTube Awards, which were intended to recognize the best quality videos. The Play Buttons are based on a channel's subscriber count. At the moment there are four different Play Button tiers that you can get: The Silver Play Button at 100,000 Subscribers, made out of 92% nickel, 5% carbon and 2.5% zinc, with traces of other metals. The Gold Play Button at 1 million Subscribers, made out of gold-plated brass. The Diamond Play Button at 10 million Subscribers, made out of silver-plated metal insets with a large piece of crystal. This award is in the shape of a play button triangle, excluding the metal casing. The Custom Play Button at 50 million Subscribers. At the moment, only three VouTube channels have received this award
