When livestreaming, various legal requirements must be observed in order to avoid warnings, fines or legal consequences. Stream1 supports you in making your livestreams legally compliant and GDPR-compliant.

There are some important legal rules for live streaming:

• Observe copyright – Only use your own or license-free content such as music, images or videos to avoid warnings.
• GDPR & data protection – If people can be seen in the stream, obtain their consent beforehand and inform viewers about the processing of their data.
• Music licenses (GEMA/GVL) – If you use music, you must check whether license fees apply.
• Imprint & privacy policy – Every livestream platform or website needs a legally compliant imprint and privacy policy.
• Labeling requirements – advertising & sponsorship must be clearly labeled as advertising
• Accessibility & Mandatory information for public events – additional requirements apply, for example, to accessibility, equality or information obligations
