What’s the situation with doing read-aloud videos on my YouTube channel for my kids? I’ve heard there would be copyright issues but I’ve already seen so many other read alouds on YouTube...

Debatably legal-ish, but my honest thought right now is: who’s going to try and sue a teacher reading to their class. I think the main issue would probably be access to public. If you make your video accessible only via link, that adds a layer of protection as well because it’s less widely visible. Alternatively, you could make the video and keep it on your own platforms. Google classroom, on canvas, email out the link from your google drive etc. That keeps it off public sites which should help

ALSO I had seen some publishers have been putting out info on how to create video read alouds legally, but I can’t speak to specifics. I think it was something about making sure to credit the publisher in addition to the author/illustrator?

I know with music you usually have to site and say “I do not own the rights to this material” and that usually lets you get around that. I wonder if it works for books too. Like posting the title author publisher and “I do not ...”
