    How to Get a Vevo Channel

    Vevo has no public upload button — official artist channels come through an approved distributor. Here's how to get yours in three steps.

    What is an ArtistVEVO channel?

    An ArtistVEVO channel is your official, verified home for music videos on Vevo's network — the channel viewers see branded with your name and "VEVO." It signals that your videos are official releases, and it's where your views and royalties are tracked.

    Because Vevo doesn't offer self-serve uploads, the only way to get a channel is through an approved distributor. Learn more about how Vevo works.

    Get your Vevo channel in 3 steps

    1

    Create your Mission Control account

    Sign up and choose the plan that fits you — Artists for a single channel, or Labels for unlimited ArtistVEVO channels. There's no subscriber count or watch-hour requirement to get started.

    2

    Upload your music video

    Add your video and details through your dashboard. Vevo prefers HD quality (1080p minimum), and you'll need the rights or clearances for any sampled or licensed material.

    3

    Publish to your ArtistVEVO channel

    We deliver your video to Vevo, where it goes live on your official ArtistVEVO channel and across Vevo's network. New accounts may pass a short moderation review; as your account ages you can publish immediately.

    What you'll need

    • A music video in HD quality (1080p minimum) with clear audio
    • The rights to your music, or clearance for any samples and licensed material
    • A Mission Control plan — $30/year for Artists, $60/year for Labels
    • No minimum subscribers, views, or watch hours required
