Frequently asked questions

What is a YouTube Official Artist Channel (OAC)?

An OAC merges an artist's own YouTube channel with their auto-generated Topic channel. The channel name gets a music note badge, all songs, albums and videos appear in one place, and subscribers are combined into a single channel.

What are the requirements for an OAC?

In general, the artist needs one YouTube channel, at least three official releases delivered to YouTube through a distributor or label, and a channel in good standing with YouTube policies. If you don't have releases on YouTube yet, we can distribute them for you. Final approval is made by YouTube.

How much does it cost?

The OAC service is a paid service. The price depends on your channel and catalog, so send us your channel link and we will give you a quote. For MCN channels we work on a 70/30 revenue share: you keep 70%.

How long does the OAC process take?

If your catalog mapping and channel status are in order, the process usually completes within a few weeks. Metadata corrections can extend the timeline; we keep you updated at every step.

Do you distribute music?

Yes. We deliver your songs and albums to YouTube and YouTube Music, including Art Tracks on your Topic channel and Content ID protection for your releases.

What is an MCN and what does it do for my channel?

An MCN (Multi-Channel Network) provides YouTube channels with management, rights protection, revenue optimization and technical support. A dedicated team works with you on claims, channel issues and growth strategy.

Where do I send copyright notices or disputes?

Send copyright notices, Content ID disputes and all legal requests to legal@mediaphonedigital.com. For general questions, use info@mediaphonedigital.com.
