How do Patreon supporters add or change prioritized channels, and what are the tier limits?

Patreon supporters can add channels to the priority indexing queue on Prioritized Channels. Sign in with your linked Patreon account, search for a channel by name and select a suggestion, or paste @handles or UC channel IDs. You can also submit a list. A channel does not need to be in Filmot already, but it must still be accessible on YouTube.

Priority indexing includes the channel's videos regardless of view count and picks up new uploads faster. It improves coverage in both subtitle search and metadata search, particularly for smaller channels whose videos would not normally meet the subtitle crawling threshold. Supporting Filmot does not automatically prioritize a channel: you need to add it to your list. Captions must still exist on YouTube and be accessible for Filmot to collect them; prioritization cannot create missing subtitles or guarantee discovery of every unlisted video.

The number of channels you can keep active at once depends on your tier:

• Official Patron: 1 channel.
• Silver Patron: 4 channels.
• VIP Patron: 15 channels.

The page shows your quota and remaining slots. Very large channels may require additional review before they are added.

To change your selection, remove a channel from the list to free a slot, then add another. Videos already indexed remain in Filmot; future uploads from the removed channel follow the normal indexing criteria without priority. Priority affects indexing speed and coverage, rather than the channel's ranking in search results.
