OAC YouTube Official Artist Channels 3 0

YouTube allows artists to bring their content together from multiple channels into a centralized location – a YouTube Official Artist Channel (OAC). Your OAC automatically programs your music catalog on two new shelves, including your music videos, songs, and albums. You can learn all the specifics on YouTube’s dedicated OAC support hub, but below you’ll find the info you need to know to get started with Omziki and YouTube OAC.
