Q: i have a youtube channel about a very spacific subject and i cooperate with my boyfriend. His part is to edit the video

A: Generally, the ownership and rights to a YouTube channel depend on the agreement between the parties involved. If there is a clear and written agreement specifying the roles and responsibilities of each person, as well as the ownership structure, it will be a crucial document. If no such agreement exists, there could be a risk of disputes arising over ownership. In most cases, the person who creates the content, appears on camera, and holds the knowledge about the subject matter has a strong claim to ownership. However, to avoid potential conflicts, it is advisable to have a detailed agreement that outlines the respective contributions and rights of each party involved in the YouTube channel.

A: In situations where one person is the visible face and primary content creator of a YouTube channel, and another person contributes by editing videos and offering creative ideas, the question of ownership can become complex.

Your boyfriend's role as an editor and a contributor of creative ideas does provide him with a certain level of contribution to the channel. However, if there is no formal agreement or understanding regarding ownership, his claim to ownership of the channel itself may be limited. The fact that your face and name are solely associated with the channel and you provide the primary content and expertise could be a strong argument for your primary ownership.

If you're concerned about ownership rights, it would be wise to establish a formal agreement or contract that clearly outlines each person's contributions and ownership stakes in the channel. This can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes in the future.

In these scenarios, it's always a good idea to consult with a legal professional who can provide specific advice based on the details of your situation. Remember, clear communication and formal agreements are key in collaborative projects like this.
