Vendor Photo YouTube

[TotalEfficiency]

Hello,

I would like to know more about using vendor photos from Abobe Stock on YouTube. Is one free to use the standard license for photos in a YouTube video if they are used in the background or slightly modified? Since YouTube is a free application the photos are not being sold so this should be ok, correct?

Please see the license terms: https://stock.adobe.com/uk/license-terms and http://www.adobe.com/go/stockterms

From the license terms (https://stock.adobe.com/uk/license-terms😞

With a Standard license, you may:

• Reproduce up to 500,000 copies of the asset in product packaging, printed marketing materials, digital documents, or software.
• Include the asset in email marketing, mobile advertising, or a broadcast program if the expected number of viewers is fewer than 500,000.
• Post the asset to a website with no limitation on viewers. If the asset is used in an editorial manner, attribution is required in this format (© Author Name - stock.adobe.com).
• Include the asset in products in a minor way, such as in a textbook.

It's not important that Youtube is free (it isn't indeed as you pay either a subscription or you are nerved with adverts). Important is that if you consider Youtube as a "broadcaster", which some do, the number of views should be less than 500k. If you consider it as a website, which it is also, you are free to use the asset with no limitation of viewers.
