Zoom Wedding Music

Hi ladies! My fiance and I are planning to livestream our wedding on zoom and possibly Facebook, but concerns have been raised about music rights. Are there limitations around what music can be used if the wedding ceremony is being shown online?



Someone told me that by livestreaming the wedding we would basically be a radio station and would either have to use only music that our church has the licensing rights for since our pastor is conducting the ceremony, or use public domain music. Otherwise we would be violating copyright laws.
Does anyone know how this works? Anyone who's had a zoom wedding and run into issues with the ceremony music?

    So we had something similar as teachers with reading books aloud to students. Typically as long as we kept the Zoom class private and password protected and people had to have the direct link in order to access, then it was okay to read. Most authors were perfectly fine if used in a private type setting. But having it on Facebook Live was a different matter altogether.

    Glad I could help.
    Another thought is that no matter how you stream, you could put in the comments/description a copyright disclaimer. I copied this from a video on youtube. People do this all the time there. ***COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER*** ***COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT NOT INTENDED*** ***I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING*** ***ALL RIGHTS GO TO LAUREN DAIGLE*** ***ALL RIGHTS GO TO CENTRICITY MUSIC©***

    Hi Kathrine! I’d definitely go with a private link for your guests! There’s nothing to worry about that way. Smiley shame
