IMSG only gathers public information to create the stream list. There is no privacy or security information needed. Though we do honor a channel owners wishes, we will remove them if asked.
Requirements for a channel:
- Must be about Indie music. Interviews, video shows, performances of indie music, music production, apps, instruments and tools, podcasts... As long as its about new original indie music.
-
Must be Indie status, not the genre. If the channel has over 100K subscribers, is backed by a label or marketing team then you really dont need the assistance of the IMSG. Have your label do it.
-
Only about music. If your channel is about Indie music AND something off-topic it cannot be used. IMSG does not sort out specific videos on a channel. We do not want off topic subjects in the aggregate.
-
No A.I. music. We support actual performers and songwriters. If you stream A.I. music we are not interested. If you are on the list and reported as an A.I. artist you will be removed from the list.
-
Must be an active channel. We would like to see at least 1 or 2 live streams a week, but at a bare minimum once a month. We can only monitor so many channels at a time, so the more active channels will be preferred.
-
Right to refuse. This is a curated list, we are the curators and we reserve the right to remove any channel for any reason at any time. Be good members of the community and their won't be a problem
To be considered for the list of channels please email either the channel URL or the Channel Handle
(Example: @professor-boomer) to the email address at the bottom of the window. You will be notified once you are accepted or rejected. Also any suggestions for improvements are also welcomed.
Although not required, it would be nice if you added a link to this app in your descriptions.
