Automation

Once network members pass their trial period, they can do the following to have their videos added onto our website automatically without them needing to submit them. Include a hashtag in your new future video descriptions depending on what playlist the video should be added to in the format of #playlist_PLAYLIST NAME, for example #playlist_pop or #playlist_rock etc and then your video will get automatically added onto the website within 15 minutes of it being uploaded to YouTube. All network members' videos are checked daily, if we find any issues with your video descriptions which cause your video to not be added onto our website then you'll be notified via Discord.
