Hi everybody, I have a quick question for you all.

I do not want to monetize my Youtube videos, but am however interested in uploading some game videos. I was wondering, should I ask for permission to post a Youtube video without monetization or is this well within the law?

Thankyou
 
As I understand, you need to have license or permission to upload video game clips, There are two ways to obtain them.
First option is to become partner with network (The network must have licenses to the game you want to upload)
Second option is to contact game publisher and purchase license yourself.

I am part of Machinima network and they have licenses for games, within that license I am allowed to upload video game clips (Let's Play)

Uploading game clips are very shady area, some publisher don't mind and other publisher do.....It is best to become partner with network to be safe.

Also some people say it is ok to upload video game clip as long as you are not monetizing.....well I am not sure about it....maybe someone outs has better input
 
Thankyou for your quick reply, am I right in thinking that you need a popular gaming channel to partner with a gaming network?
Thanks
 
You need to first get enough subs and views to qualify for the gaming network. Not sure about other network, but Machinima required to have HD videos and I had about 300 subs when I got in to Machinima. I am happy with Machinima network, but some people might not like it. Each network has their strengh and weak point. You might want to look up some thread regarding the network and decide what is best for you! If you have question about Machinima I may be able to help you.

Good luck with your channel
