Can I stream my chess.com game to friends on discord?

  Hello. Sorry for the newb question. I was having trouble finding this in the forum thus far so feel free to link me to an existing post. Some friends on Discord noticed I am playing a fair amount of chess trying to be less bad (embarrassed of my rating) and wanted to watch.

I am not sure if this is allowed? I know people stream on twitch but I am not sure if this requires special permission.

Thank you!

Hi there!

I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. Chess.com has a whole article about how to stream your games which you can find here: https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-streamer

As far as I am aware, no special permission is needed to stream the game on the platforms it lists, such as Twitch or YouTube. So I don't see why you would need special permission to stream to your friends through Discord. I do it enough with my friends on Discord.

Hope this helps!

  Hey there thank you for the response! I was hoping that was the case but just wanted to make sure. I am climbing the rating ladder and learning a lot. This is a very deep game. I have always enjoyed martial arts (currently a few months post-op for ACL reconstruction currently but I will be back once healed). I am having a lot of fun becoming less bad at chess.
