How many channels is 'multi-channel' in practice?

The benefit starts at two and grows sharply past five, where manual comparison stops being realistic.

Do all channels need the same owner?

No, only read-only authorisation from whoever controls each channel.

Can I group channels?

Yes, channel groups let you separate brands or clients inside a workspace.

An agent-facing integration is available for connecting AI assistants to your channel metrics.

Analytics software built for several YouTube channels at once

Single-channel analytics is a solved problem — Studio does it well. Multi-channel analytics is not, which is why so many operators still run their business from a spreadsheet.

The problem with the Studio workflow

Once a portfolio exists, the important questions become comparative: which channel is compounding, which is stalling, where does an hour of work return the most. No single-channel tool can answer those.
