Is it better to commentate on gameplay?

[EatThatOG]

Hey on my channel i havent commentated yet but i did just record a 73-13 game and commented on it (rendering right now) and i was wondering should i commentate over everything i can from now on?

Yes. Commentary is required for gameplay videos. Your channel can get into trouble with game play videos without commentary.

Commentating on everything is more practice for you, just do it mate.

Ok thanks bro

That being said, depending on the game/publisher, even with commentary, you can still get in trouble, but you're a lot less likely to.

Yes, if your looking for partnership then commentary is required on most gameplay videos. Commentary is also more interesting then watching just gameplay too. But that's just my opinion.

yes, like KGATV said about the copyrights, but also because people dont watch the gameplay purely for the game, without commentary it would just be spoilers and stuff, and if yu wanna know how the game people just look for a review. its your commentary that has to draw the viewer. of course some audiences appriciate it when the commentator doesnt speak over cutscenes and such.
so yes, do commentary, both to be save from strikes and to give your channel a new reason to visit

Commentary is a must!

Search around enough, and you'll find a complete list.
I wouldn't know, except that EA definitely gets content matches sometimes.
Also, don't upload release-day footage. So when the next Call of Duty comes out, don't upload footage of it the day it came out. Companies don't like that.
