An Official Artist Channel (OAC) on YouTube brings together, under a single verified channel with the music note, your main channel and the "- Topic" channel that YouTube generates automatically from your music.
What it achieves
- A single official channel instead of several scattered ones.
- The music-note icon next to your name.
- Your videos and catalog grouped and correctly attributed.
How to request it
From UXEM you submit a channel verification request. You provide the URL of your main channel and of your "- Topic" channel. The team handles the consolidation with YouTube.
The exact steps and requirements are in YouTube channel verification.
What it isn't
The OAC doesn't distribute videos for you. To publish music videos, see VEVO.
