# 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.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
