Family in Music can assist you in transforming one of your YouTube channels to an Official Artist Channel (OAC) through the following procedure:

  1. Ensure that 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 Family in Music.

    3. There are additional requirements indicated here.

  2. IMPORTANT: Note that it can take from a few days to up to 6 weeks for your OAC request to be processed by YouTube. The timeframe depends on how popular the channel is (number of followers and watch hours) and how busy YouTube's approval queue is. The more popular your channel is, the faster the approval will be.

  3. YouTube will not confirm when the channel has been transformed to an OAC. You will need to keep monitoring this yourself.
