An auto-generated channel is created when we identify a topic to have a significant presence on the site. If a topic doesn't have an auto-generated channel, it may be because:

• There are only a few videos on the topic.
• There aren't many views for videos in this topic.
• The videos in the topic don't meet YouTube's quality threshold.

YouTube algorithmically determines the central topics in a video and then uses that information to develop collections of videos for any topic of interest. These channels don't convey any editorial opinion on the part of YouTube.

You don't need to do anything except follow the normal best practices for discovery of a video: have a really good title and description. Learn more about making your channel and content more discoverable in the Creator Academy.

Remember to focus on quality of tags rather than the quantity. And, as always, don't try to mislead users — that's a violation of YouTube's Community Guidelines.

If your gaming video incorrectly appears on a channel about the wrong game, double check that the game name is in the title and description of your video, and that you’ve tagged the video with the right game in Creator Studio.
 

An auto-generated channel presents a collection of videos about a single topic. When the same term can have multiple interpretations ("Chicago" = city; musical; movie; musical band), the auto-generated channel reflects one interpretation of that term. The term might have multiple channels. Auto-generated channels also provide:

• The ability to subscribe and get regular updates about this topic in your YouTube feed
• A way to find other channels related to this topic
• More context about this topic from Wikipedia or other sources in the “About” section
