Offering a webcast is a great way to amplify the reach (and impact) of your TEDx event.
- Approval: Once you have your webcast url, please submit your webcast link for approval
- Advertising: No advertising is permitted on or around your webcast. (You may not advertise inside the webcast. You may not place advertisements on the website hosting the webcast.)
- Cost: Your webcast must be free to viewers.
- Distribution: Talks and other content recorded at your event may not be distributed on broadcast television, cable television, satellite television or on-demand TV.
- Webcast services: TEDx has a webcast channel with Livestream. We recommend that you email Livestream and they can set you up on our ad-free channel.
- Third-party webcast services: You can broadcast your event via a third-party website or with a third-party webcast service, but make sure to submit your url for approval. (Advertisements in, on or around the webcast are not permitted.)
- Your event profile: Add the URL of the webcast to your event profile as soon as you have it. If you know you will be webcasting your event but are unsure of the URL, add a link to your website, which should include any information about the webcast that you have so far. (Doing this will make the global TEDx community aware of your plans to offer a webcast.)
- Webcast archive: Archiving your TEDx event webcast for the public or your attendees is not permitted. (I.e., you are not allowed to provide a stream of your event's webcast after your event has concluded.)
- Viewing parties: You're allowed to organize viewing parties around your TEDx webcast, but no viewing party may exceed 100 attendees. Viewing parties must be free of charge to guests, and must be held in non-commercial venues (such as homes, schools or libraries).
- Livestream Metrics: If you are using Livestream to webcast your event you can get the metrics by following our Livestream Google Analytics procedure.
