The Rec Room Music Video Contest!

Video creators unite for a contest like no other! For the first video contest in Rec Room history, we want you to get your groove on. Create, film, and edit the perfect music video! It can be a recreation of your favorite music video, an original creation, or a compilation of shots timed to music. Anything that feels like a music video is fair game.

PS4 / PSVR players: You can use PS share to gather clips! Tutorial HERE

Oculus Quest players: The Quest has built in recording to gather clips. Tutorial HERE

If you would like to use the Rec Room Streamer Cam for more camera angles, find a PC player to add to your team to be a camera operator! Streamer cam tutorial HERE

Unfortunately for now the streamer cam only works on PC due to Sony and Oculus Quest restrictions. We will continue looking into ways we may be able to bring more views to those platforms in the future!

How do I submit a video?

Join the Rec Room Discord Server and post a YouTube link to your video in the #music-video-submission channel. The video can be unlisted or public but we would prefer you make it public so that everyone in the community and online can watch it! Be sure to read all of the rules below before submitting.

What can I use for recording or editing?

The song I want is copyrighted, YouTube won’t let me upload it!

It is important for everyone to be aware that YouTube has a copyright system. Some songs will not be allowed to be uploaded or used for this reason. There is a way for you to be able to check if you can use the song you want before you start your project! Simply upload an unlisted video to a channel, and check to see if it will let you use it publicly. Here’s instructions on how to check!

1. Open up your editing program, and put the song into it. No visuals are necessary.

2. Render the video in full.

3. Go to your YouTube channel, and click the little camera with the + inside of it in the top right corner, then click “Upload video”.

4. Under “Select Files to upload”, click the “Public” box, and select “Unlisted”.

5. Either drag and drop the rendered video into it, or click the image above “Select files to upload” to navigate and select the video.

6. Wait for the video to upload and process. Once it’s complete, press “Done” in the top right corner.

7. Click the title or the picture to go to the video.

8. Click “Edit Video” under the Share and Save buttons.

9. On the right side of the screen, in the “Visibility” box, it may just say “Unlisted”. If there’s nothing else in that box, you’re good to go!

10. If not, and it says “Unlisted, copyright claim”. Click on that box, and click “View copyright claim details”. 

11.  Under “Channel impact”, if it says “Not affected”, you’re good to go! You can use that song without the video being denied or it affecting your channel.

YouTubers with monetized videos! Be sure to turn off monetization for this video to avoid it being removed and strikes to your channel.
