You can get access to intermediate features as an India-based channel by confirming your identity via a phone number. Once you’ve completed the verification process, a “phone verified” label will be listed on your channel’s About page, and you will have access to intermediate features.
Note: We added this label to comply with the Information Technology (Guidelines for Intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (“IT Rules”). This label is visible to all users within India using YouTube on a computer, mobile device, or on the YouTube app.
