Clear responsibilities

UXEM prepares the process. The platform keeps the final decision.

UXEM coordinates

  • Initial review of the request.
  • Organizing the artist's information.
  • Preparing files and metadata.
  • Checking the available requirements.
  • Submission through the corresponding channels.
  • Tracking the status.
  • Communicating necessary adjustments.

YouTube or VEVO determines

  • Final eligibility.
  • Approval of the request.
  • Creation or modification of the channel.
  • Processing times.
  • Rejections or additional requests.
  • Availability of certain features.

A properly prepared request reduces errors, but it doesn't replace the platform's evaluation.
