Hello, am I allowed to tell my opponent he can go to my youtube channel to see my point of view of the game? I think it is interesting to see your opponents side of the game and I would like it if other people offered  that to me if I wanted to watch their PoV.

I would think that wouldn't be a problem unless your opponent thought you were bothering him.

Are you streaming while you play?Chess.com probably won't care.

I think some players will be suspicious and report you. If they click on your link, you can identify their ip, giving you the potential to interfere with the game. 

I can imagine why many would hesitate clicking on your link in the middle of a game. How much fun would a rickroll be?

I'm not streaming I would just upload the video afterwards.

If it is afterwards, I don't think you'd have any problems.

See how it works. I don't know how many people are going to take the time to watch your video. Why not post it on your blog here?

If you are taking the time to do a thoughtful analysis and present it well, there might be some people interested.

If you're gonna upload video commentary of your games, you need a funny shtick to go along with it, maybe handpuppets or just a jockstrap and a MAGA hat.

Lol I’m only 1300 so I can’t really do analysis. I just wanted to be able to get the guys reaction to my reaction of the game and I like talking to myself during games I figure my opponent might be interested in knowing who his opponent was especially if something funny happened. I don’t really have a shtick though, lol. I also just like having at least 1 person watch a video of mine. It gives me some excitement I think. Also, I would post a blog of my videos I just thought it’s not allowed
