Connecting to an MCN

How It Works: Step by Step Guides

1. Connect Your YouTube MCN or Join Revelator's MCN

  • Option 1: Connect your YouTube MCN via OAuth.

  • Option 2: Apply to join Revelator’s MCN directly.

2. View Imported Channels and Their Content

Once imported, you can view all managed YouTube channels in the Channels tab.

  • Each tile shows the channel handle and video count.

  • A blue banner indicates how many channels have been imported.

  • Use “Review Channels” to manage access or assign owners.

3. Filter and Search Channels

Use the channel filters to:

  • Search by monetization status, subscriber count, joined date, or video count

  • Identify channels that are safe for kids, public/private, or currently unlinked

4. View Channel Details

Click into any channel to explore:

  • Total subscriber count and views

  • Monetization status and join date

  • Visibility and child safety settings

  • About info and link to YouTube channel
