Please keep in mind that the delivery deadline is the date by which your release must already be at the stores. To ensure everything runs smoothly, we kindly ask you to upload your releases a few days before the delivery deadline, as our quality team needs time to review all submissions before they can be sent out.
Releases submitted after these dates might not go live on the desired release day.

📌 Important Changes for YouTube CMS Channels

We’re optimizing our YouTube CMS service. These two important changes may affect connected channels:

  • ⚠️ Inactive Channels Will Be Unlinked:

    • Starting February 1st, 2026, channels that have been inactive for over a year will be automatically disconnected from our CMS.

    • Inactive channels include those that have not uploaded a video or made a Community Post for over a year.

  • ▶️ Limit for New Channels:

    • Each Rebeat account is limited to inviting a maximum of five new channels to our CMS per month.

 

Never heard of the YouTube CMS (Content Management System)? No problem. We present the four core benefits of connecting your channel to the YouTube CMS to ensure you exploit the full potential of your entire video catalogue.

The 4 Benefits of YouTube Channel Management with Rebeat Digital

    1. 🛡️ Video Protection via Digital Fingerprint:

      • The artist’s entire video catalogue (e.g., live recordings, making-ofs, interviews, and more) gets a digital fingerprint which is registered with YouTube.

      • Benefit: Your content on YouTube is automatically found and claimed, even if third parties upload it without permission. This secures revenue from all unauthorized copies.

    2. ⚙️ Flexible Policy Settings:

      • You define the monetization rules (Policy) for your content: Monetize, Track, or Block.

    3. ⚖️ Proactive Rights Management:

      • Rebeat provides support and processing for all claiming, disputing, and management of rights conflicts.

    4. 💰 Centralized Revenue & Analytics:

      • All channel revenue (ad sales, YouTube Premium, etc.) is accounted for directly through Rebeat.

      • Detailed financial and performance data are viewable directly in the MES Software.

    • No Active Strikes: The channel must not have any active Copyright Strikes or strikes against YouTube’s Community Guidelines.

    • Focus on Music: The channel must exclusively upload music content and related content (e.g., interviews, behind-the-scenes).

    • Minimum Video Count: At least three videos must have been uploaded to the channel.
