This license only covers the official video feeds produced by Valve in the English, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese languages. If you want to use community casts or independent third-party video feed productions in your event you need to clear the necessary rights in those with the producers of such content.

  • Organizers MUST retain proof of venue approval for on-site recording during your event, either in writing or a short video recording. Barcraft United support will contact organizers to ensure compliance. Organizers without evidence of approval wont qualify for this opportunity.
  • Events taking place in private homes (approved only in limited geographical regions) do not qualify for the live streaming opportunity.
  • Submitted media must be broadcast appropriate and must not contain any offensive, discriminatory, or explicit content.
  • Participation via the submission of media and/or a stream link does not guarantee appearance on official broadcasts or social media.
  • Specific additional Terms and Conditions will be digitally distributed closer to the broadcast date, which must agreed to for participation.

Non-broadcast events submitted by trusted organizers bypass initial staff verification and correction. Please double-check your spelling, grammar and event details. Events are randomly checked to ensure quality.
