TEDx » Organizer Resources » Promoting your event » Webcasting your event



Offering a webcast is a great way to amplify the reach (and impact) of your TEDx event.

  • Notify us: You must seek approval from TED before you can produce a webcast. Email us.
  • 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.
  • Third-party webcast services: If you are broadcasting your webcast on a third-party website or with a third-party webcast service, you will need to get approval from TED. (Advertisements in, on or around the webcast are not permitted.)
  • Promoting your webcast: If you plan to promote the webcast of your event to the general public, you'll need to notify us first.
  • Webcast archive: Webcast archives of TEDx events are 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 without approval by TED. Viewing parties must be free of charge to guests, and must be held in non-commercial venues (such as homes, schools or libraries).
  • Audit: After your event, fill out this form.
