Live Streaming Classes
Here we go again!
Thanks to the efforts of our licensors and partners this year, we can confirm:
You CAN use original music from us to live-stream classes during lockdown!
All of the rights you need for live streaming are now covered following the terms below.
Zoom and Youtube Live are never muted, so we recommend those options.
Other suppliers have fewer rights than us, so this is strictly for music purchased from us.
Avoid Facebook: their auto-muting system doesn't know you bought your music from FitMixPro.
Rules:
Max 60 participants per class.
Each class must be no longer than 60 minutes.
This covers LIVE streaming. It does not cover the recording of classes, so don't save the session afterwards.
Each class streamed will be treated as a standard class delivered under the existing Exercise to Music licence and so the person streaming the class must have a current valid PPL licence.
To buy extra PPL licence credits call PPL directly on 0800868820 (option 1).
FAQs:
How Do I Get Paid? Log into Paypal to set up a Paypal-Me link. Send this to your customers, and they can pay you without needing a Paypal account.
YouTube Live is so easy for you and your customers. Here's the link to get set up: Youtube Live.
You'll need a PC or Mac, but your customers can view it on anything - mobile, tablets etc.
It can take 24 hours to activate Youtube Streaming, do it now! Then to start a class:
- In Youtube click the + Plus sign.
- Click "Go Live".
- Click "Share" and send the link to your customers on Facebook, Whatsapp, email etc.
Can I record my classes? No, you have to stream them live.
Can I use Zoom? Yes, but you should have this extra PRS/Sync licence for Zoom.
What about Facebook Paid Events? Facebook's muting might kick in here. Use Youtube instead.
Will Facebook / YouTube ban my page? No instructor pages have been banned for using original music during the lockdown. There's a good dispute system if needed but it's never got that far. We're here to confirm you purchased the music legitimately.
If you have any questions that aren't answered above please let us know, info@fitmixpro.com. Special thanks to PPL, PRS and EMD for their help in getting these rights available for our instructors.
