Can we use YouTube or Vimeo to serve stock video on our website?

[idaho_sugarbeetg437622]

We want to use a  stock video on our website and want to know if we can host on YouTube or Vimeo, then link to it on our website? And if that is not possible, do you recommend a WordPress plugin to protect anyone from downloading it from our website if we host on our server? Your licensing agreement is vague. Plus, we have an enhanced license to use a video on social media. Do we need to add our logo or watermark of some sort to be able to share it on our Facebook or Instagram?

Hi Idaho,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Adobe Stock does not allow downloading videos and then publish or use them on social sites. A wiser/safer approach will be to use some clippings or background of the video footage incorporate needs and then publish on social sites. Additionally, credits are needed to be added if posting this footage on social sites.

Under no condition, the videos can be uploaded to YouTube, that includes publishing videos as unlisted- since the video is stored in the YouTube database which can be accessed.

For more information on the licensing terms and restrictions of Adobe Stock, please refer to Stock Licensing & terms FAQ: Where can I find the terms and licensing information for Adobe Stock?

Hope this information helps!

Feel free to update this thread in case of any additional questions.
