How is that a choir can sing someone else’s music, but a youtuber can’t play certain music in their videos?

What do the laws(if any) say about this? And on what scale. Is it legal for a member of church to sing a song to the congregation, or a high school student?

Your church has a CCLI license. Older hymns are public domain but most of the songs they play fall under the CCLI.

If they do it correctly you should see a number under the words on the last page of verses on the screen if they show the lyrics. Or it might be on the title.

Song books will have a license as well, so even if they have a CCLI they can’t just xerox the song books or hymnals.
