- Click on the comments icon in the bottom left.
Comments will populate as the clip plays. This will be the same display for all audiences of the clip whether they're the creator, patron, or follower checking the clip.

Responses are limited to 30 seconds and are sent into your Lens. The patron’s comment is automatically included so that your audience knows what the comment was.

When you reply to a patron’s comment, the patron will get a push notification letting them know that you featured them.
