Publishing a channel will make it viewable to other users on the platform. When a channel is unpublished, new videos do not appear on the front page, do not show up in search results and cannot be accessed by direct link.
To change the publication status of your channel, please visit the Channel Manager and open the relevant channel. Click the Publish or Unpublish button located near the top right of the page to change the current status of your channel. You will see a confirmation box indicating the updated publication status of your channel.
