It sounds like a typical case of contract-lawyer boilerplate stuffing where nobody in charge read it or cared enough to change it.

Similar to what Facebook, Twitter, etc have done in the past.

Still, they need to fix that if their business model really isn't to resell your screen-shared content.

Hey there, Jon here from the Vidyard team. I can assure the group that the intention was never for Vidyard to do anything with user content other than to provide the service. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. An update to the Terms of Use for ViewedIt will be rolled out shortly.
