How to publish a video on VEVO

2 min read

Until Hitskope fully integrates automated video distribution, we offer manual uploads of your content to VEVO.

VEVO publication is handled on a per-project basis by your Hitskope team. To request VEVO upload for a video, contact your account manager or email support@hitskope.com.

Follow these steps to request your videos to be uploaded to VEVO:

  1. Create the video in your dashboard.
  2. Submit your request through our VEVO form with the following:
    1. The release ID of your video
    2. A video description text (5,000 characters maximum)
    3. A list of video keywords (500 characters maximum) — optional
    4. Whether the video is made for kids: Y/N
    5. If the video already exists on YouTube, indicate its Video ID or video URL
    6. If the video already exists on YouTube, its YouTube asset ID (if you have it) — this must be the asset ID of the same video (not an art track or a UGC video)
    7. A video thumbnail image: 1280 x 720 recommended, up to 2MB
    8. A link to download the video. Videos need to be of good sound and image quality
    9. Indicate the artist's VEVO channel name if they already have one. If they do not already have a VEVO channel:
      1. Request that a VEVO channel be created for them and indicate the name you want for the channel. Make sure that the name is available by checking that there is no existing channel with this name. You can check for this by replacing XXXXX in this URL with the VEVO channel name you want: https://www.youtube.com/user/XXXXX If no channel appears, then it means that the name you want is available.
      2. VEVO processes all new channel requests on Mondays. If you make your request on a Tuesday, you will need to wait until the following Monday.
