Technology moves so fast, it can make your head spin trying to keep up with all the platforms. I recently signed up on Periscope and started to follow some people to watch and see what the new platform had to offer.<\/p>\n

I admit, a still picture cannot capture the essence of the moment on many of my travel experiences. But even a video cannot compare to a live experience, and other platforms (like Instagram<\/strong><\/a>) just record a still—an instant in time. Apps like Periscope and Meerkat open a window into an event that allows you to experience and participate.<\/p>\n

So I started to include videos, but have been extremely cautious about what I include in my video. With my own videos, I was able to edit as I wished. But when it comes to live video, there is no script—it’s live streaming and you are out there!<\/p>\n

As I was watching my Periscope friends, I saw quite a few videos that made me question whether what was shown was legal or not.<\/p>\n

So, here are a few tips to remember from Kerry Gorgone<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Take into account that this is live, and that the people you may be capturing on video have rights. Who is visible? What is visible? Is it copyrighted or sensitive?<\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid to disclose what you’re doing. So far, no fines have been issued to people who have clearly delineated the sponsor of their content.<\/p>\n

Are you working for a brand?<\/strong><\/a> Then you should check with their legal department to make sure you’re acquiring the correct release forms, being transparent about sponsorship and attentive to copyright issues.<\/p>\n

We invited Kerry Gorgone<\/strong><\/a> to join us on #InfluencerChat<\/strong><\/a>.  Here is a useful infographic Rebekah Radice<\/strong><\/a> put together for you to bookmark and refer to in order to stream responsibly.<\/p>\n

But no checklist will protect you from potential lawsuits, and it’s down to you to be smart. If you plan your Meerkat or Periscope live stream, be responsible and conscientious.<\/p>\n
