Requirements
Before applying, make sure your channel meets these requirements:
- You distribute music through InterSpace Distribution with at least one live release
- You own or control the YouTube channel you want to link, and it represents you (or your label's artists)
- Your channel has no active Community Guidelines strikes
- Your channel has no unresolved copyright strikes
- The content on your channel is original or fully licensed — no re-uploaded third-party content
Your channel must also comply with YouTube's own monetisation policies. MCN membership does not bypass YouTube's rules — it adds professional management on top of them.
How to Apply
- Submit a request: email legal@interspacemusic.com with the subject "MCN Application". Include:
- Your YouTube channel URL
- Your InterSpace account email
- Your artist or label name
- Channel review: our team reviews your channel against the requirements above. This usually takes a few business days.
- Pay the one-time joining fee: MCN membership has a one-time upfront fee. Our team confirms the current fee and payment options with you once your channel passes review.
- Accept the network invitation: if approved, YouTube sends an invitation to link your channel to the InterSpace network. You accept it from YouTube Studio → Settings → Channel while signed in to the Google account that owns the channel.
- Confirmation: once linked, you will see the network listed in your YouTube Studio settings, and we confirm by email that your channel is active in the network.
After You Join
- Your channel is whitelisted against the InterSpace catalogue, so your own uploads stop receiving claims
- Channel revenue starts reporting into your InterSpace dashboard (YouTube reports earnings on roughly a monthly cycle)
- You can request OAC assistance, claim management, and takedowns at any time through support
Leaving the Network
Membership is not a lock-in. If you ever want to unlink your channel, contact support and we will release it through the YouTube CMS — see the InterSpace MCN FAQs for notice periods and details.
