OK So I got hit with a new Freedom! contract thing when I signed into my Freedom account earlier.

Fair enough.

Most of it seems pretty standard and agreeable, but I've got a question about one portion of it.

Section 3 -

3. Live Stream Content .

3.1. As of the Effective Date, Talent will coordinate with Freedom! in good faith
regarding all "live streaming" content that Talent may create, (i.e., real-time or
near real-time, streaming of "live" content of any kind, including commentary,
discussion, game play, e-sports, etc. (collectively, the " Live Stream Content ") on
the Talent’s Channels (or on such other Freedom! controlled channels as
mutually agreed upon by Freedom! and Talent).

3.2. The parties will coordinate and agree on whether Live Stream Content will be
recorded, edited and distributed on the Talent’s Channels (or on such other
Freedom! controlled channel on YouTube as mutually agreed upon by Freedom!
and Talent) for Video on Demand (“VOD”) viewing following the conclusion of
the applicable live stream.

What exactly does this mean, and how would I "coordinate" my live streaming activities with Freedom?

I do most of my streaming on Instagram, but I've been considering getting set up to do this on youtube, and thus this part of the agreement jumped out at me.
Thoughts?

This part was already part of the old agreement, I haven't seen anyone having issues with streaming yet.

I understand that, I'm just getting to the point where live streaming might be a thing, and this popup happened so it made me question it.

I know a few freedom people that live stream, none of them mentioned any coordination. I have no idea what that would even involve.

Without clarification from the support team, I would guess this is to deal exclusively with YouTube red earnings and applicability, as that can be a view on demand service, that is taken care by YouTube / Freedom. I shall try and get some clarification for you regarding this

I'm not participating in Youtube Red currently, so it may not apply to me at all, but yeah, I am a bit curious how it may come into play if I decide to do some streaming on youtube. Thanks!
