I have CMS and I am able to add new channels under Managed Channels section. If any such channel gets a Copyright strike or Community Strike, will it affect my CMS ? I am getting lot of requests from youtube channels to add their channels, but monitoring a huge list is very tedious. Please guide me
 
Ok first, what are you (ie are you a YouTube network or just a channel that happens to use network in your name)? Two, any managed channels that get strikes directly go to the Content Owner operators (you), although not immediately. It's your responsibility to fix any strikes (reach out to the company that placed the strike to get it removed) before they are officially given (you have a time period before they actually place the strike against the Content Owner. Like a YouTube channel, receive too many strikes then you can get shut down. Also if your access to the YouTube Content Owner (CMS) was given to you for personal channels (which is what I think is the case), then (correct me if I'm wrong) you aren't allowed partner third-party channels, only channels you own/operate/are affiliated with. Besides it would be foolish to let randoms be on your managed CO since you can get in trouble for it.
 
Hey, do you have an affiliate and managed content owner account (2 content owners in simpler terms)? Ask your partner manager if you're not sure.
 
If you only have a managed Content Owner then you are not allowed roll-up 3rd party channels.
You need a business-type affiliate Content Owner with Channel Rollup Tool enabled (plus some agreements signed) to be able to do this.

All you have is a partner-type Content Owner meant for a brand or a channel owner that needs to manage multiple channels.
I think they have a maximum amount of channels that you can link (somewhere around 15 afaik) also as stated above you are not allowed to use them to rollup channels that arn't O&O by you or your company.
 
Thanks for all guidance. I have only Managed Content with Invite tool where i can invite new channels to add in the network. There is no roll up tool or Affiliated Content Owner. I can Invite / remove the channels from network. Is there any eligibility criteria to become MCN to get these tools.
 
criteria to become MCN to get these tools.
To become an MCN, you need an Affiliate content owner with a CRT (channel rollup tool). I'm not too sure the way to create an MCN without going through a preexisting one, but I'd imagine that you'd need a brand manager (not sure their exact title but they are like partner managers except they are specially for brands), who'd point you in the right direction. @Shane.C can shed more light on this since he's made an MCN before.
