Hi everyone! Will we be allowed to stream Battlefield 2042 gameplay footage on YouTube or Twitch during the open beta? Also, if we're a YouTube partner or Twitch partner, are we allowed to monetize our streams of the open beta?

By default then the Open Beta is exactly that, open.  So you are not going to sign any special NDA on top to take part, apart from the TOS and Code of Conduct you already agreed to when purchasing and now using the std license of BF2042 that you acquired.  Please notice that all editions of Battlefield 2042 that you pre-order will give you access to the open beta. This event will likely last a week and should be a really exciting time to try the game out.  So many like you are eager to participate and also share out from their experience in it.

There have not been any special coverage from EA on any changes to the ability for YouTubers/Streamers on monetizing the streams/gameplay, so expect same conditions to apply as with previous games from same franchise.  EA will release more details both on the open beta but also the final conditions for the BF2042 game as we come closer to go live.

Regarding the Technical Playtest that is also scheduled, then that are very different conditions!
The Technical Playtest will be in a closed environment only and under a very strict NDA.  It will only be for a small group of participants and on select invitation from EA only. If Playtesting is something that interests you, then update your EA Playtesting profile. Registering for EA Playtesting does however not guarantee you access to this.  So not the same as the pre-order of the BF2042 grant you always access to the open beta.
