I wanted to try to stream on Twitch for fun. If I just stream now and then, that's probably not a problem. But what if I announce a stream on Twitch? Is that already a "broadcasting time"?
And are there any other legal matters to consider? If you're doing Let's Plays you should contact the publisher first. Do you have to do that with streams?

Or strategies for playing boss-fighting are explained.
I would consider that as editorial.
When "nonsense" it will probably not be classified as editorial.
But to put it legally correct: It depends on the individual case.
Okay, well, I think Overwatch will not be so editorial.
