How do I claim my Official Artist Channel on YouTube?
Official Artist Channels, or “OAC”, have the advantage of merging all your content on YouTube into a single verified channel, granting it official status and the associated “♪” symbol. Within an Official Artist Channel, your catalog is organized into the following categories: video clips, albums & singles.
To qualify for an OAC, your channel must meet the following requirements:
- The channel must be owned and operated by an artist or band.
- The channel must have at least 3 official releases on YouTube, delivered and distributed by OFFstep.
- The channel’s name must match the primary artist’s name, including capital letters, accents, and special characters.
- The channel must have no policy violations.
If your channel meets these requirements, please access your OFFstep account and go to the OAC Page to submit your request.
Attention: Your request can only be submitted if the aforementioned requirements are met. You’ll be notified via e-mail as soon as the channel is approved by YouTube’s team. Please keep in mind that all submissions are analyzed by YouTube’s team and can take up to a month.
