Can I register for an Official Artist Channel (OAC) on YouTube?

YouTube has rolled out "Official Artist Channels," which enable eligible artists to consolidate a standard artist YouTube channel, VEVO Artist channel, and Topic Channel into one "channel" so fans can easily locate all official content relating to a specific artist.

If you're an artist on YouTube, your Official Artist Channel (“OAC”) brings together all your subscribers and content from your different YouTube channels into one place. Read more here about OACs.

To ensure a smooth OAC upgrade process, we'll run some internal checks on your YouTube channel. Please review the following criteria before making your request:

1. Single Artist or Band/Group Representation:
   Your channel should represent one artist or band/group, not a label, recording studio, music promotion brand, or artist collective.

2. Official and Exclusive Channel:
   Your channel must be the only official channel representing the artist/band/group on YouTube.

3. Matching Channel Name:
   Ensure that your channel's name is an exact match to the artist/band/group's name.

4. Clear Representation with Videos:
   Have at least 2 available videos which immediately give the impression that this is clearly one artist or band/group, and this is their official artist channel.

5. Content under Music Category:
   Make sure that all your content (videos, lives, shorts) belongs to the Music category, including private and unlisted videos.

6. Intermediate Features Enabled:
   Confirm that your channel has Intermediate features enabled.

7. Distribution with Allot Lines:
   You should have distributed at least three (03) releases to YouTube Music with Allot Lines, and your latest release should be with Allot Lines.

By ensuring your channel meets these criteria, you enhance the likelihood of your OAC upgrade request being granted. Please filling this form: https://forms.gle/FZSa3piq7H4Epz1i7

Fee: 5.5USD per channel (VAT Included)

When you receive confirmation from the YouTube team that your OAC upgrade was successful, you'll receive an email with an invoice from us for $5.5 USD (OAC subscription service fee for your YouTube channel).
