🚀 How Be Musix Helps You Get Certified
Be Musix partners with YouTube to streamline the OAC process for independent artists. Here’s how it works:
- Distribute Your Music or Video

Once your content is live, contact our support team to start your OAC request. We’ll ask for:- Your personal YouTube channel URL

- Get Verified
After submission, YouTube will review your request. If everything checks out, your OAC will go live within 2–4 weeks.
