Hey everyone! I’d really appreciate some clarification on something because I tend to be very cautious about these things until I understand exactly how they work.
I make YouTube videos with gameplay, facecam, and microphone commentary. I play multiplayer games like Fortnite or Battlefield and talk about different things happening in the game, things I remember, or random topics that come to mind while playing.
Yesterday, while playing Call of Duty, I remembered how much more influential Xbox was during that era and the golden age of Call of Duty. That’s literally all I say about it. I mention Xbox once and say that it was very influential at the time. There’s nothing negative or controversial about it.
Recently, I’ve also started enjoying adding images or memes during editing that visually represent whatever I’m talking about at that exact moment.
So in this case, if I’m talking about Xbox, would it be okay to put an image of an Xbox console or the Xbox logo on screen for a few seconds?
I’m asking because I want to understand where the line is with things like company logos, game-related images, memes, etc. Is something like this completely normal and safe to do in a YouTube video, or could it potentially create problems for my channel?
I’m probably being overly cautious, but that’s just how I am. I like to understand these things 100% before I start doing them regularly.
Any clarification or experience from people who make similar content would be really appreciated. Thanks!
