Distribute Your Music to YouTube Music

YouTube is the world's most-used music service. ORB delivers your release to YouTube Music, generates Art Tracks for your Official Artist Channel, and can monetize your sound across YouTube with Content ID and our MCN — all paid in your local currency.

Why YouTube is a revenue platform, not just a video site

Beyond YouTube Music streaming, every time someone uses your song in a video, Content ID can claim that video and pay you the ad revenue. For African artists whose music spreads through dance videos and covers, this is real, recurring income.

Delivering through ORB also generates 'Art Track' videos and helps consolidate your catalogue under one Official Artist Channel, so your audience and analytics stay in one place.

How to get on YouTube Music with ORB

From upload to monetized in a few steps:

Create your ORB account: Sign up free and complete your profile.

Upload your release: Add audio, art and metadata. ORB generates Art Tracks for YouTube Music automatically.

Enable Content ID & MCN: Opt in so ORB registers your sound recording in Content ID and connects your channel to our YouTube MCN for monetization.

Collect and withdraw: Ad revenue from claims is collected and paid into your ORB wallet for local withdrawal.

What ORB adds on YouTube

Content ID monetization: Earn from videos worldwide that use your song, not just your own uploads.

YouTube MCN connection: Connect your channel to ORB's MCN to collect monetization revenue you'd otherwise miss.

Official Artist Channel: Consolidate your music under one verified channel with the music note badge.

Local payouts: Withdraw your YouTube earnings to your bank in your own currency.

What is Content ID and how do I earn from it? Content ID is YouTube's rights system. When others use your song in their videos, it can claim those videos and route the ad revenue to you. ORB registers your recordings so you get paid.

Can ORB connect my YouTube channel for monetization? Yes. ORB offers a YouTube MCN connection so you can collect monetization revenue from your channel and Content ID claims, paid into your ORB wallet.
