How to get an OAC to connect the own YouTube channel with the Topic channel?

Hi there,

I have a private Youtube Channel, but all my releases through iMusician are uploaded to an automatically generated Topic Channel. I thought it should be possible to create an Official Artist Channel and then the Topic Channel should be combined with my private one. But how is this possible? And also, how can I get access to the topic channel to customize it (e.g. activate comments for videos, change profile picture,…)

Thanks for the help!

Hey @MathiasWehr,

  1. To request an Official Artist Channel, please refer to this article.
  2. Unfortunately Topic channels cannot be logged into and personalized as they are auto-generated.

Hi Carlos,

the Topic channel is is competing with my own official youtube channel.
I’d like for my “Lowly Light - Topic” channel to be removed.

Can you pls assist or let me know how I can go about removing it?
Appreciate it,

Hey @MG83,

That’s a personal channel, not an official one.

The Topic channel is auto-generated by YouTube to host your official releases (and earn you some revenue through ad placements) and you have the option of merging this Topic channel to your personal channel into an Official Artist Channel.

If, however, you really want to get rid of the Topic channel immediately, we could takedown the release from YouTube… Is that what you want ?
