hey everyone names dante im starting my channel youtube and was wondering if I could use skyrim for my lets plays cause from what I heard on youtube if the content I show is not mines then i'll have to get a contract or a documention of me showing that I got the approval from the gaming company so I was wondering where can I go to get a contract signed by Bethesda to upload videos of skrim and much less then elder scroll online?

wat

Uh... I'm not a Youtube expert but I don't think that you have to fill a contract with Bethesda to make a Skyrim Let's Play.

yeah that's what im tryin to say but how can I get in contact with them in order to get the contract?

lol dude. You don't need to fill out legal documentation.

Don't worry, you won't get into any trouble. Just start uploading.

Now, you can't advertise here.

The majority of game developers, including Bethesda, are pretty laid back when it comes to let's plays. If it's for non-commercial purposes, you don't need a permission. I don't know what Bethesda's stance on monetizing videos is, but I haven't heard of them pulling down any channels (except beta leaks, obviously).

ok guys thx u all have been major help

Here's a page that may clear up some of your questions:

Bethesda isn't Ubisoft. They don't call their lawyers if you make a let's play of their games.

From what I've seen, Bethesda doesn't restrict any YouTube videos of released games. You should be fine to make your videos without problem.
