How To Get Verified On YouTube

To make sure that your channel is eligible to receive verification, Google suggests four things:

  1. Connect your channel to a Google+ Page.
  2. Your Google+ page or profile must be authorized.
  3. If the channel is connected to a Google+ page, the page must contain a link to your organization’s website.
  4. Your channel must have a certain number of subscribers. (This one is not really important, you can become verified with 1 subscriber if you want).

When starting a YouTube channel, it is important to understand what features are available to you and which ones are not. By becoming verified on YouTube, it will unlock some extremely important features.
