# YouTube Clearance

## Connect your YouTube channel to the MassiveMusic Studio platform.

MassiveMusic Studio allows you to connect your YouTube account to more easily declare music usage and licenses for your videos. To begin doing so, you will need to add the channel in question to your account's whitelist.

From the **[MassiveMusic Studio homepage](https://studio.massivemusic.com/)**, click on the **Connect** button, located on the top righthand side of the main Studio toolbar. <https://player.enterprise.songtradr.com/connect>

You will then be taken to the **Connect** screen (pictured below), where you can connect your social platforms, including YouTube channels.

### Add a New Channel

To begin adding a new channel:

1. Click on the **YouTube logo**, located on the lefthand side of the **Connect** screen.
2. Click the **Add new channel** button, located on the bottom lefthand side of the screen. Enter the channel ID or channel URL, then select **Add channel** to complete the process**.**
3. The connected channel should now appear on a list whenever you click on the YouTube logo in the **Connect** section. You can **s**earch for channels by clicking the **circle icon**, located to the right of your connected channels.

### Posting Content On YouTube

When uploading videos to YouTube, the visibility should initially be set to **Unlisted**. This will allow you to ensure no copyright claims will be added to the content by MassiveMusic or any third parties. 

Once the copyright checks have been passed, you can **publish** your content.

### Third-Party Content on YouTube

Any and all third-party content posted on channels you do not have access to (e.g. paid partnerships with social media content creators posting on their own channels) will also require clearance. In this case, you should notify your account manager of upcoming projects so that they can clear individual videos on your behalf. 

### Checking for claims on YouTube

Full guidance on YouTube-related claims can be found in [**YouTube’s support documentation**](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6013276?hl=en-GB). 

If you (or any third-party providers) receive an unexpected claim on your content, please contact your account manager.
