Video Consent Form Template
Get clear permission to record and use video of individuals — before the camera starts rolling.
Recording someone on video without their knowledge or consent creates legal and ethical problems. Whether it's for a training video, a customer testimonial, or an event recap, this form gives organizations a professional way to obtain and document that consent.
The template covers the participant's name and contact information, the purpose of the video, how it will be used and distributed, whether the participant can request removal, any compensation terms, the recording date and context, and a dated signature. Minor participant fields include parent or guardian consent.
Asking for video consent in advance — not as a rushed signature at the camera — gives participants time to consider and creates a record they agreed freely, not under pressure.
For individuals who are identifiable and featured — speaking roles, named participants, interview subjects — yes. For incidental appearances in crowd or background footage in public settings, requirements vary by jurisdiction.
If the original consent didn't cover the new use, you may need new consent. Use broad language in your initial consent form that covers 'current and future platforms and uses' to reduce the need for re-consent.
Once published, withdrawal is complicated. The consent form should specify what happens if a participant requests removal post-publication. Include a contact address for removal requests and explain the process.
Yes, as specifically as you know. Name the platforms, event types, and geographic scope. Ambiguity tends to get resolved in the participant's favor if a dispute arises.
The principles are the same but the form should specify 'video, audio, and moving image recordings' explicitly. A photo release may not automatically cover video footage.
