Three ways people use a saved talk
TED talks are short, clear and made to be shared.
In class
Play a talk on a projector without relying on the school Wi-Fi. 1080p looks sharp on a big screen.
On the move
Save the talk as MP3 and listen like a podcast. A 15-minute talk is about 14 MB at 128 kbps.
Offline
Keep a few talks on your phone for flights and trains where streaming is not possible.
Saving a talk from ted.com.
Find the talk
Open it on ted.com. The address looks like ted.com/talks/speaker_name_title.
Paste the link
Copy the address and paste it above. PullClip lists every size from 1080p down.
Video or audio
1080p for a projector, 480p for a phone, or MP3 to listen.
TEDx talks live on YouTube
Only the main TED talks are hosted on ted.com. The thousands of independently organised TEDx events publish their talks on YouTube.
For a TEDx talk, copy its YouTube link and paste that into PullClip instead. Everything else, including the MP3 option, works the same way.
Subtitles
Subtitles stay on ted.com and in the TED app. The file you save has the video and sound only.
