Question 9

How do I get my YouTube channel on HPDE.tv and claim my permanent CH #?

Accepted Answer

Getting your YouTube channel on HPDE.tv takes under two seconds. Drivers use the instant @YouTubeHandle Auto-Claim on hpde.tv to verify channel ownership, which immediately locks a permanent dial position between CH 101 and CH 1973 and activates a branded {handle}.hpde.tv vanity link. Claiming unlocks the Creator Vault Primer, allowing drivers to check or uncheck up to 12 Free or 50 Verified videos so only pure asphalt stints appear on their broadcast schedule while excluding personal vlogs or shorts. Claimed drivers receive dynamic hpde.link QR cut files for paddock window decals. Alternatively, individual track videos can be submitted via the + SUBMIT portal, where they are vetted by the 4-Axis Smart Ingestion Filter requiring an 85% to 100% pure driving ratio, 1080p/4K 60fps cockpit POV, verified circuit metadata, and official YouTube IFrame Embed API compliance with 100% creator view and monetization pass-through.
