Verifying accounts, channels and apps

Social media accounts, YouTube channels, communities and apps cannot hold a file, so they are verified with a code placed somewhere only the owner can edit.

Code in bio or description

For social accounts, YouTube channels, Discord servers, Telegram channels and similar:

1. Choose Code in bio / description and click Get my code.
2. Add the code to the profile bio, the channel’s About text or the server/channel description. Keep the rest of your text — just add the code.
3. Make sure the change is public and saved.
4. Click Check now, or follow the form’s instructions if our team checks this type.
5. Remove the code once the listing is verified.

Code in store listing

For apps and browser extensions: add the code to the description of the app in the store. Store updates can take a while to be published — check again once the new description is live.

File in code repository

For software sold with its code: commit a file with the code to the product’s repository, as described in the form, so it can be seen in the repository.

Accounts that cannot show a code

Some platforms do not have a public description. Then choose Screenshot with code or Manual review: you show our team that you are logged in, together with your code. See Verification by our team.
