We can broadly assume that material hosted on organisations’ official channels is legally available, and consequently, we can link and embed them. More care will be necessary when linking to private posts in copyright infringement. You must be cautious, especially where part of the footage is from blockbusters and stock collections.
Videos freely available on the internet may still be protected by copyright, and you need to obtain permission from the rights-holder before copying them. Not all material marked as free to use on the Internet is meant to be distributed freely: material might be incorrectly annotated, such as some posted on YouTube and Vimeo.
What about hyperlinks and copyright?
Can I make a transcript or a third party owned video?
Can I show clips or whole movies online?
Can I upload broadcasts and movie clips?
