The silver play button is the first play button award that is part of YouTube's Creator Awards. It is delivered to YouTubers who reach 100,000 subscribers.
The award consists of a flat silver trophy in a metal casing and a YouTube logo symbol, along with the message "Presented to [channel name] for passing 100,000 subscribers". The award is also the smallest in size of its type and is made out of 92% nickel, 5% carbon and 2.5% zinc, with traces of other metals. The plaque's measurements are 12 inches X 10 inches X 1/2 inch.[citation needed]
Former Play Button Designs[]
YouTube redesigned their play buttons as of March 1, 2017, as well as their build. This includes the silver and gold play buttons, with a much sleeker look. Prior to the silver play button, either a directors chair or a camera bag were given out.

The Silver Play Button before 2024.
The old version of the silver play button is the same design as the current one, but with a different size.[1]
Other Buttons[]
The button's popularity led to the Gold Play Button and the Diamond Play Button being created. Custom fan buttons were also made widely by YouTubers that didn't reach any of the rewards' award limit, but still wanted to make something special.
