Copyright of Twitch Steamer Avatars

Hello Dear Community,

i already read the Terms of service. But I’m not quite sure, if I am allowed to show Avatars from Streamers on my website? Does anyone has an idea and can clarify this question?

Similar to this website. https://influencer.equipment/

Kind regards Max

Use in appropriate contexts generally constitutes fair use. But you should definitely consult a lawyer to be sure in your specific case, if you are concerned.

@DevMcGee Hey first of all thank you for the quick response. This gives me hope :smiley:
Does it matter its a commercial website?

Whether a work is used in a commercial capacity is not a factor in determining fair use. How it affect the market for the original work is a factor.

There are plenty of better resources than a Twitch-specific developer forum. Consider reading e.g., Measuring Fair Use: The Four Factors - Copyright Overview by Rich Stim - Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center. Again, to be sure, you’ll have to consult a lawyer.
