Q:

Hello!

Recently i’ve watched Dontains video on Heavy Arms Build, and there was this conversation between these two guys stating that you can’t post GW2 videos on Youtube and if you do, it will be taken down.

Here are some comments on it:
“I heard you weren’t allowed to upload Guild Wars 2 videos on YouTube. Is that true?”

“you are not allowed but he is partnered so he still gets money of these but if you are not and you monetize GW2 vids they will be taken down

Now i wonder if that is true since i just recently wanted to make a youtube account, dedicated to making GW2 content videos. I do hope i am mistaken.

I apologize for this wall of text and my awfull grammar, thank you and have a nice day.

^ Gobs of GW2 videos, containing countless hours of in-game footage from beta to present, and that’s just one list of many.

If you want to make your own GW2-dedicated channel, I think you’ll be fine. :)

Pretty much you’re not supposed to make money off GW2 videos.

^This. To clarify you are allowed to post GW2 videos as long as you don’t ‘monetize’ your channel. I think there’s an option for the video or for the account. I’m not sure as I don’t really upload videos. The ones that are monetized have a special agreement w/ Anet.
