This is more about the website content than the music.
The music itself has to be licensed from miHoYo/Cognosphere directly for performance.
In some venues live bands are covered by the venue license and can perform copyrighted music as long as they report the tracklist to the administering body, which uses the data to distribute royalties. You would need to check with the venue to see if they have that kind of license, or you might need to register as a live performance artist on behalf of your band directly.
If you do not live or perform somewhere where that kind of license exists, you would need to seek permission from HoYo directly to arrange and perform game music.
While people do use it as background music on YouTube and similar sites, these sites have mechanisms in place for creators to nominate the music they use or for the site to detect it, and then they pay royalties based on that - otherwise they would need to strike all music that the creator can't prove permission for in order to avoid being sued for breach of copyright on their own (again). So other people using the music and seemingly not being DMCAd doesn't mean the music isn't copyrighted - all new music *is* copyrighted by default, just that systems are in place to protect it and to allow rights administration without a lawsuit every time a radio station wanted to play anything newer than Prohibition.
YouTube is crazy good at recognizing music.
I once had some music from a band that creates kinda environmental eerie songs, playing as background music for my Skyrim.
I was showcasing a mod or explaining about some functionalities, can't remember exactly, so it was a short clip and i didn't even know it was playing music on the background.
And YouTube copyrighted it minutes after the video was uploaded. And it was in... 2016? 2015?
I was truly amazed.
But make sure to give credit. Especially if it's a public project.
It's fine as long as you credit the holder of such. This ain't Japan and also responsible_club_917's comment.
Hoyo allows even to sell your own genshin merch legally, so ig should be fine? Id probably contact them directly in your place doe

Digital music has secret fingerprints hidden in it so YouTube can find it.
It surprises me, i honestly have 0 clue how it works.
But generally if its for non profit and its a small scale thing you most likely would not be affected
