# 🌟 Featuring Videos

## Automation

Network Members are required to do the following to have their videos featured on the website.\
\
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. This is normally caused by forgetting to include our website link or not using a valid playlist hashtag. Please ensure you respond to any messages about this and amend your description as advised to resolve any issues to prevent you from missing out on the free promotion.

## Playlist Usage Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines when choosing which playlist to put your videos into. All videos are checked to ensure they are in the correct playlist and if they are not then we will amend them into the correct playlist on our end and you'll be notified for future reference to give you a better understanding of the genre.

### One Playlist Hashtag Per Video

The automation only works with one playlist hashtag so please only enter one.

### Non-English Songs

Songs that aren't in the English language must be put in there own language playlist, for example #playlist\_german Please check the playlists page to ensure that there is a playlist for the non-English language that your video is in and if there isn't then please request for one to be added via a support ticket within our Discord server. However the playlists; Anime, Folk and K-pop are excluded from this rule.

### AI Generated Songs

If your song is AI generated, you need to use the AI playlist hashtag.
