Gamchung

Live

The first platform dedicated to discovering and amplifying Tibetan voices in digital media

Gamchung

Overview

"Gamchung" means "small box" in Tibetan — a container that holds something precious. Tibetan creators are scattered across 40+ countries, building a vibrant digital homeland on YouTube. But they faced real obstacles: music rights holders were claiming ad revenue from their videos, China banned Tibetan-language content on platforms like Douyin, and there was no centralized place to find, support, or celebrate Tibetan digital voices.

Gamchung was built to change that. It is the first and only platform tracking the entire Tibetan YouTube creator ecosystem — 118 creators, 667.7 million views, 4.1 million subscribers, 28,000 videos. Every channel is tracked daily with 456+ days of historical snapshots and 54,000+ data points. From the first Tibetan creator to hit 1 million subscribers (Ted Kunchok) to hidden gems with 135 subscribers but 10% engagement, Gamchung documents it all.

Beyond analytics, Gamchung publishes daily blog content — weekly trending recaps, creator spotlights, cultural deep-dives, content strategy guides, and growth reports. In January 2026, Gamchung partnered with Unminus to provide free access to 60+ royalty-free tracks for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and podcasts. Everything is completely free — no registration, no copyright claims, no barriers.
