Fundraiser and Charity Links
Long Play has two places you can add a support or fundraising link: your creator profile (for ongoing support) and individual videos (for specific campaigns or one-off fundraisers).
Profile support link
Your creator profile has a "Support link" field under External links in your profile settings. It accepts Patreon and Ko-fi URLs only, and shows as a "Support this creator" button on your public channel page.
This is intended for ongoing creator support - a standing Patreon page or Ko-fi tip jar that applies to your channel in general, not a specific project.
Per-video fundraiser link
You can also add a fundraising or charity link to any individual video. When set, a button appears on the watch page linking to the campaign. The button is clearly marked as leaving Long Play.
Go to your video settings and scroll to the "Fundraiser / charity link" field below the IMDB link. Paste your campaign URL, choose a button label, and save.
Button labels
Choose the label that best fits your campaign:
- Support this cause - charity, social impact, cause-driven work
- Back this project - crowdfunding via Kickstarter or Indiegogo
- Fund this film - documentary or narrative film campaigns
- Support this creator - ongoing creator support via Patreon or Ko-fi
- Donate - direct and universal, works for any charity
- View our campaign - neutral, works for anything

Long Play's position
Long Play is not a party to any fundraising arrangement and takes no responsibility for campaigns, platforms, or donations made through them. Adding a link does not constitute an endorsement by Long Play of the cause, the campaign, or the platform. Misuse of this feature - for example, linking to personal payment pages or non-charitable commercial requests - is against platform policy and may result in the link being removed.
