RE: YouTube Videos

I am sorry but we are not able to advise you on this.
Why is that? I need to get those YouTube videos onto Easy Worship. I have done it in the past. Did you remove the ability to do this?

YouTube TOS & Legal Considerations
Downloading videos using ClipGrab violates YouTube's Terms of Service.
YouTube's terms explicitly state that content cannot be downloaded, reproduced, or distributed without express authorization from YouTube or prior written permission from the copyright holder.
Beyond YouTube's TOS, playing YouTube-sourced karaoke tracks during a church service involves copyright law:Religious Services Exemption (US Law): U.S. copyright law grants churches a specific exemption to perform musical works live during religious services without a license.Pre-recorded Accompaniment Tracks: Playing a pre-recorded backing track or video in church is generally not covered under standard CCLI church performance licenses unless you have a specific backing track license (like CCLI's RehearScore or licenses from track providers like MultiTracks, PraiseCharts, or Christian Karaoke providers). Livestreaming: If your church livestreams the service on YouTube, Facebook, or your website, playing third-party karaoke tracks will often trigger copyright strikes or muted audio on your stream.

I have a gal that sings special music at our services, and she uses the Karaoke videos from YouTube. When she goes to sing them, I use Clipgrab and transfer it to an MP4 video, and save it to my computer. Then I import the video into Easy Worship. For some reason, it's not importing the video into Easy Worship. How can I do that now? Do I need to use a different Clip Grab program? Thank you for your help.
