# YouTube Channels

## **Overview**

Revelator’s **YouTube MCN and Channel Management** module empowers rights holders, labels, and distributors to import, monitor, and monetize content from their YouTube channels — all in one streamlined platform.

Through this integration, users can:

* Connect their YouTube CMS via MCN,
* Manage multiple YouTube channels and videos,
* View in-depth performance and monetization insights, and
* Assign channel ownership and client access permissions.

***

## **Who Is It For?**

* **Enterprises and MCN Operators**
* **Music Distributors**
* **Labels managing multiple channels**
* **Rights Holders and Catalog Managers**
* **Real-World Scenario #1**: A rights management company connects its MCN, auto-importing hundreds of channels and thousands of videos. With filters and performance data, they track monetization health and optimize revenue.
* **Real-World Scenario #2**: An independent label joins Revelator’s MCN, instantly viewing their artists’ channel performance, linking content to contracts, and processing statements automatically.

***

## **Key Benefits**

* Centralizes YouTube channel and video metadata in the Revelator catalog.
* Enables auto-import of new videos and real-time performance metrics.
* Custom filters to identify trends, underperforming assets, or monetization gaps.
* Secure role-based access and ownership assignment to collaborators.
* Easy switching between channel-level and video-level views.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.revelator.com/pro/platform/catalog/channels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
