What does an Official Artist Channel (OAC) mean?
From Google Support; If you're an artist on YouTube, your Official Artist Channel brings together all your content from your different YouTube channels into one place. The channel automatically programs your music catalog on two new shelves, including your music videos, songs, and albums.
Organized content: The Official Artist Channel layout automatically organizes your discography into an album section and your Official Music Videos into a new playlist. For a consistent fan experience across YouTube, you can't edit these playlists. However, you can place one section above your locked video and album sections to promote anything you like on your Official Artist Channel.Discoverability in search: When your fans search for you on YouTube, they'll be linked directly to your Official Artist Channel from your watch card on the right side of the screen.Promotional content: Choose what you want to highlight in the dedicated promotional shelf and in the featured video slot.Fan engagement: One verified and official channel where you can directly reach and engage with your fans on YouTube.A music note badge too.Community channel is unlocked.
How would can you get verified as an OAC on YouTube? To be eligible for an Official Artist Channel, make sure you already have a YouTube channel that you own and operate and have at least 3 official music videos on YouTube delivered from a music distribution partner. This can be a record label or a distribution service such as Distrokid, Tunecore, CD Baby, and more.
The best part is, just about anyone can get an OAC! The amount of subscribers you have doesn't matter either!
We are working on a service that allows us to get the badge for you! These include email templates if you don't know what to say, we, NoodlesNetwork, working on the email for you, and other things. Keep in check!
