    Compare what each person watches with what the app suggests.

    What should the creator do before using the song?

    A creator wants to add a song to a public video. The song's page says, “Permission from the rights owner is required for use in videos.”

    • Mention the singer's name without asking
    • Use only the chorus without asking
    • Get permission from the rights owner

    The page states a condition for using the song.

    Show solution

    • Get permission from the rights owner

    Giving credit and getting permission are different. Naming the singer does not meet the permission requirement.

    Why does lower video quality help?

    On a slow internet connection, Eli's video keeps stopping. When he selects a lower video quality, it plays smoothly.

    • The internet connection becomes faster
    • The video needs less data to load
    • The video's running time becomes shorter

    Think about how much information the connection must carry.

    Show solution

    • The video needs less data to load

    Lower-quality video usually needs less data. This can reduce pauses without changing the connection's speed.

    Why could the short clip give the wrong idea?

    A short clip shows a host saying, “This plan will never work.” In the full interview, she is describing what she used to think. She then explains why she now supports the plan.

    • It presents an old view as her current view
    • It changes her statement into a question
    • It joins comments from two different speakers

    Her opinion changed, but the clip does not show that change.

    Show solution

    • It presents an old view as her current view

    A clip can contain someone's exact words and still be misleading. The surrounding conversation can change their meaning.
