+The output of a program is not, in general, covered by the copyright
+on the code of the program.  So the license of the code of the program
+does not apply to the output, whether you pipe it into a file, make a
+screenshot, sceencast, or video.</p>
+
+<p>The exception would be when the program displays a full screen
+of text and/or art that comes from the program. Then the
+copyright on that text and/or art covers the output. Programs
+that output audio, such as video games, would also fit into this
+exception.</p>
+
+<p>If the art/music is under the GPL, then the GPL applies when you
+copy it no matter how you copy it.  However,

+
+Keep in mind that some programs, particularly video games, can have
+artwork/audio that is licensed separately from the underlying GPLed
+game. In such cases, the license on the artwork/audio would dictate
+the terms under which video/streaming may occur. See also:
