Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe.

Suppose if I want to check whether a YouTube channel is verified or not, there is no way to do it.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented

I think it would be nice if you add Verified mark(Right mark) beside channel name as youtube website does.

Describe alternatives you've considered

In YouTube website we can whether a channel has verified mark or not.

Screenshots

Additional context

Verified mark beside channel name helps in deciding whether channel is authentic or not.

Hi, so fortunately, someone over at the modules repo added this a few days ago. So the data is there already. As for #917 , this should be rather easy to add. So if someone wants to get started, we are open for contributions, and happy to help :)

@ChunkyProgrammer you're still assigned to this. Maybe want to deassign?

I'm interested in working on this, could I be assigned to it?

@Benjababe assigned! U maybe can take a look at a previous attempt https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/1821

To the people of the future and in case I forget about it:

Without doing all the channel caching, currently invidious doesn't support authorVerified for the popular and video api (invidiousGetVideoInformation in Watch.js and fetchPopularInfo in Popular.js). Keep an eye on this https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3323

Local API seems to work fine for all pages and keeps close with YouTube where it displays the verified mark.

Shorts never share any verified flags as in YouTube they don't show the channel name so I shouldn't worry about it so much.

Hi @Benjababe just checking in, what is the status of this? Are you in need of some help?

@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc Haven't touched it in a while but the changes still work just through random browsing. Invidious doesn't include the verified info in 2 places, waiting for them to be added before making the PR.

1. Popular page

2. Recommended videos

Hi @Benjababe , I opened a PR to add it to the recommended videos. For the popular endpoint, I think it'd be okay to not include that for now (it would require Invidious to make a database change so it likely won't happen for a while

[ChunkyProgrammer]

Should be included in recommended videos for Invidious now
