Background music streaming licence for educational establishments
The background music streaming licence enables the on-site live streaming of background music from the educational institution to remotely participating students, their parents and staff on behalf of Gramex
Livestreamed activity means that students can participate either on site or remotely if they wish. So, the class is not only held online, but also physically at the educational institution
The licence also requires a valid Music in educational establishments licence
Background music streaming must be done in real time (live). The licence does not cover making a recording of the live broadcast, nor showing it afterwards
Streaming of the activity must take place in a closed online environment, such as the website of the licence administrator or a separate remote meeting platform, such as Teams or Zoom
The licence does not cover transmission to the public via social media services such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube
The number of participants in the online activity can be at most the same as the number of participants would be present
One class may contain no more than 60 minutes of recorded music
The main focus of the activity must be on physical participation. Therefore, the licence cannot be used to licence activities which main focus or only use is in the online environment
If the educational institution has classes in several locations, a streaming licence is required for all locations
The licence is intended for the streaming of background music to the public in Finland, and the it may not be used for classes broadcasted abroad
In addition to Gramex’s background music streaming licence, the educational institution also needs a streaming licence from Teosto. If the coverage of Gramex’s licence is not enough, you have to apply for a licence directly from the rights owners, we recommend contacting the record company.
