Can I use website content on my YouTube channel?
For example, YouTube cannot grant you the rights to use content that has already been uploaded to the site. If you wish to use someone else’s YouTube video, you may want to reach out to them directly. Some creators list ways they can be contacted in their channel.

Can I use information from other websites on YouTube?
The standard YouTube license is restrictive. You must get permission from the creator to post it or use it in any way. Creative Commons CC BY copyright provides a standard way for content creators to grant someone else permission to use their work with attribution (giving them due credit).
How many seconds can I use of a copyrighted content?
You may have heard of “fair use,” a copyright provision that permits you to use 10, 15 or 30 seconds of music without copyright obligation. That is, you understand that you can use a short section of a song without paying a fee. Yet, you’re wondering how exactly this works.
Is embedding a YouTube video Bad for my website’s copyright?
In the majority of cases, embedding a YouTube video (where the YouTube uploader is the real copyright owner) probably doesn’t cause any problems for webmasters.
What happens if a video is removed from YouTube?
If the owner of the video decides to remove the video from YouTube, or disable it so that it will no longer show on third-party websites, the embedded video on your web page will no longer function. In other words, your page will have a rectangular space that will not display the video.
Can I republish a video created by someone else?
Videos Created By Other People If a video is not created by you, it means that someone else owns the copyright on that clip. The copyright owner has the right to give you permission to republish the video or deny you the permission. If the owner wishes, they can also allow you to republish the video only if you pay them certain royalties.
This post is not intended as legal advise. If you have real concerns that you MIGHT be violating someone’s copyright, do not use it. Or ask permission first. Sharing quotes, facts, and images from other blogs is something many content creators do instinctively, without thinking about whether they are doing anything wrong.
