Requesting a YouTube Official Artist Channel (OAC)

1 min read

Hitskope can help you convert one of your YouTube channels to an Official Artist Channel (OAC). Follow this process:

  1. Confirm your channel meets the minimum requirements for an OAC:
    1. Your channel must represent only one artist or band.
    2. You must have at least 3 official music releases distributed by Hitskope or through your own deal.
    3. Additional requirements are indicated here.
  2. If you meet the above requirements, fill out this form.
  3. Important: YouTube can take from a few weeks to up to 6 months to process your OAC request. The timeframe depends on your channel's popularity (followers and watch hours) and YouTube's approval queue. More popular channels get faster approval.
  4. YouTube will not confirm when your channel has been converted to an OAC. You need to monitor this yourself.
