Does anyone know if musicians who participate in a virtual band are liable legally if the producer does not obtain a license for the cover song when it is posted online?

Depends on the particular song - for most of them, you end up sharing the revenue with the copyright holder. That's been the case for a bunch of mine (and others that I know of). No legal issues! You can check the copyright policy ahead of time - YouTube has a great resource through the dashboard for it.

Thanks!

No, it’s the publisher who publishes the recording, video or sheet music who is responsible for the legal part. Aka the person who uploads the video online.
Not the performer, actors or people in the video or recording.
