Hi,

I was wondering if there's some kind of guidelines or policy on what I'm allowed to stream on i.e. Twitch. For example, I know I can stream Live Chess and also Puzzles since I've seen those on Twitch, but can I stream Drills? What about Videos? I'm asking because there's a lot of material which is only for members, and I'd like to have a clear understanding on what I'm allowed to stream or not. In my case, I'm mainly interested in streaming Drills, Lessons and Videos (besides the already mentioned Live Chess and Puzzles).

Thanks in advance.

I would think it would depend on whether you were simply using those things as part of a show (probably legitimate) or were just copying the content for later re- broadcast.(probably not).
