Hello. I'm stake assistant clerk. This weekend we're having our stake conference. Participants will join via Zoom and members will join via a live transmission in YouTube (we're using a licensed zoom account by the church). We have also a pre- recorded musical video where many members of the stake participate (kids, teenagers and adults). I have three questions:

1- Can the stake have a youtube account?
2- If so, can we upload the conference to youtube after we're done and make it public to everyone?
3- Can we upload the pre- recorded music video where members (kids, teenagers and adults) participate? Show we ask for permission for each of the members who participate?
4- Can we use the church name/logo?

I haven't found answers for these questions in the regular help and information.
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there's no problem with creating one, as long as it's approved by the stake presidency.

The last guidance I've seen indicates that any recordings should be deleted right after the meeting.

There's two issues: Music copyright and getting member's permission.

Name, yes. Logo, no.
