'''Do I need an ASCAP music license if I'm streaming my performances through a third-party, such as YouTube, Facebook or Instagram?'''
{{highlight|Fortunately, most popular live-streaming platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram Live, Soundcloud and Twitch are licensed by ASCAP.}} If individual performers, ensembles and venues only use a licensed platform to stream their content, no other ASCAP licensing is necessary for that streaming activity.If performers, ensembles or venues wish to stream their content through their own digital platform, ASCAP offers a simple, click-thru license that suits most needs: https://licensing.ascap.com/?type=digital.<ref name="urlASCAP Licensing">{{cite web | url = https://www.ascap.com/help/ascap-licensing | title = ASCAP Licensing | format = | work = | accessdate = 2020-09-14}}</ref>
