What do I have to consider if I transmit a fee-based live stream with music on YouTube?

For fee-based live streams on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram reach out to us here kontakt@gema.de.

By the way, donations also count among the income of live streams (linear streams). A distinction is made, however, whether the donations have been made voluntarily or whether a donation must be paid e.g. in line with the selection in order to be able to access the contents. If donations are voluntary, you do not have to acquire a separate licence because GEMA already has an agreement with YouTube. If the donation does, however, have to be paid (in line with the selection), you will need to acquire a licence for linear streaming from us.
