Benefits of official presentation channels:

• Organized content: The official artist channel layout automatically organizes your released discs into an album panel and your official music videos into a new playlist. These playlists cannot be edited for a consistent YouTube experience for users. However, you can place a panel above your locked video and album panels if you want to promote something in a targeted way on your official artist channel.
• Searchability: When your fans search for you on YouTube, they can go directly to your official artist channel from your viewing card on the right side of the screen.
• Content to promote: You can choose what you want to display on the promotional shelf and in the featured videos section.
• Fan engagement: Through a single verified and official channel, you can connect with your fans directly and engage them on YouTube.
