Statement about copyright: Our YouTube channel  is educational and not monetized, so we are operating under the "fair dealing" circumstances, provided the points below are observed. 
​
If you are a speaker or combatant, your reuse of the figures might be covered by the copyright exception for quotation in Section 30(1ZA) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. If you follow the link you will find the wording of the exception, which is one of the "fair dealing" exceptions in the legislation. You can rely upon the exception as long as your reuse of the material is "fair dealing" in the circumstances. These are the basic guidelines:
  • You need to credit the authors and source of each figure.
  • Each figure is directly relevant to the arguments of the presentation in which it appears
  • You are not reproducing more of someone's work than justified by the context
The "fair dealing" test is mainly a question of whether you could be damaging the interests of the copyright owner, for example by offering a competing product or treating their work in a derogatory manner. Reproducing a single figure from a paper would not usually be a problem as long as it is cited correctly. So relying on the Section 30(1ZA) exception is a possibility, but you (or the author) would need need to take a view on each case. The alternative is to seek permission. One factor to bear in mind is that by streaming on YouTube you are making the work available to a very large potential audience but you could still be covered by the exception.
