If you're an artist on YouTube, your Official Artist Channel (OAC) brings together all your content from your different YouTube channels into one place. The channel automatically programs your music catalogue on two new shelves, including your music videos, songs and albums.
Official artist channels offer:
- Organised content: The Official Artist Channel layout automatically organises your discography into an album section and your Official Music Videos into a new playlist. You have the option to move, delete and re-add either of these auto-generated music sections from your channel.
- Promotional content: Choose what you want to highlight in the featured video slot.
- Fan engagement: One verified and official channel where you can directly reach and interact with your fans on YouTube.
- Subscriber boost: Upon verification, any followers on YouTube music are instantly converted to channel subscribers.
To be eligible for an Official Artist Channel, your channel has to meet the following requirements:
-
Own and operate an active YouTube channel that represents 1 artist or band, with videos that match the releases on the Topic channel.
-
Have at least three official releases on YouTube delivered and distributed by a music distributor (Label Worx Ltd) or label.
-
Have no policy violations on your channel.
