Your videos, on Vevo. Views become royalties.
Vevo is where music videos get treated like music — premium placement across YouTube and connected TV, with real royalties per view. We set up your official Vevo artist channel, deliver your videos, and pay you every month for every play.
Because a music video
deserves more than an upload.
Posting a video to a regular channel is publishing. Putting it on Vevo is distribution — premium branding, better ad rates, editorial surfaces and placement across YouTube and connected-TV apps where music videos are the main event.
Official Artist Presence
A verified Vevo artist channel with the branding fans recognize — your videos sitting next to the biggest artists in the world, not lost in the feed.
Verified · BrandedBeyond the Browser
Vevo programming reaches smart TVs and streaming apps, putting your videos on living-room screens standard uploads never touch.
YouTube + connected TVEvery View Pays
Video views generate royalties just like audio streams — collected by us, itemized by video, and paid on your monthly statement.
Per-view royaltiesYou budgeted for the video. Most artists forget to budget for where it lives.
A music video is often the most expensive asset in a release — then it gets uploaded once and left to fend for itself. A Vevo channel gives that investment premium placement, editorial opportunities and a royalty stream of its own.

Questions artists ask us.
Yes — Vevo doesn't accept direct uploads from artists; channels are created through official distribution partners. Partner with Next and we'll set up your official Vevo artist channel and deliver your videos, past and upcoming, provided they meet Vevo's content and technical specs.
Like audio streaming, Vevo pays per view at rates that vary by viewer location, ad demand and how the video is watched. Premium video advertising generally commands stronger rates than standard uploads — but the honest answer is that earnings scale with views, which is why we treat videos as part of your release campaigns.
Vevo revenue lands on your monthly Next statement, itemized by video. Note there's a platform reporting lag — typically a month or two between views happening and the royalties reaching your account.
Broadcast-quality video (HD minimum), clean audio matching your released master, and content that clears Vevo's editorial standards — no unlicensed footage or third-party content you don't control. We review every video against the current spec before delivery, so nothing bounces.
Completely. Like everything at Next, video distribution is a licensing arrangement — you keep full ownership of your content, and your channel and catalog move with you if you ever leave.
Treat the video like a release: premiere it alongside the single, push it through your pre-save and smart links, cut Shorts and teasers from it, and let our label services team work it into your campaign. Vevo channels also get editorial and playlisting opportunities within the network that standard channels don't.
