Do people have to see the credit?
They do. Credits should be placed in a way so that people can easily find it. It doesnt have to be right in your face. The description text under a Youtube video is fine. The credit should not be obscured, but a click to get to it should be fine.
Here are some examples:
Videos | In the video description or in the video itself. |
---|---|
Streaming (twitch, etc) | Add a music section on your profile where you place the credit. Or in an overlay or announce it live on stream. |
Videogames | Usually under a “Credits” section in the main menu of the game. And on game website / social media. |
Films | In the credits section of the film. |
Live Production | In the program, or a voice announcment. |
Podcast | Usually voice announcement, at the end of the production. |
TV/Radio Ads | Buying a Standard License is more common for this use. However credits may be shown visually in the production, or done as a voice-over in audio-only media. |
Background Music | Buying a Retail Location License is more common for this use. However credits may be shown in a public area of the retail location. |
I can not credit you!
This is where you get the Standard License. This usually applies for formats where credits are impractical or impossible. Usually during a television broadcast or radio commericals.
