Please forgive me if I am not very good with my words, I may be over thinking this, I just want to make sure I do not have any loose ends in a large project I am working on. I have looked extensively through the zoom website to look for this information, but I cant seem to find anything relating to virtual background video copyright/licensing & rights.
I tried opening a ticket with zoom support to get some help, but the resources they directed me to only gave information on setting up streams and not virtual background video copyright stuff.
I am trying to find specific information on using a virtual background video, provided by zoom, in a meeting that will be streamed on twitch and uploaded to youtube, the virtual background video is specifically the northern lights one.
I need to know if the virtual background video is copywritten, how is it licensed? Do I need to pay attribution in form of a notification that this video belongs to zoom in my end credits scene?
Considering the intended purposes of zoom can include broadcasting your video to streams and other services, is it just assumed that the virtual background video is being used as intended, without any obligation to the video's creator? I assume the video is property of zoom.
Is the use of the virtual background video included in the license?
