How to Download TED Talks Videos for Mobile Devices

 

Nowadays TED Talks cover a wide range of scientific, technological and academic topics and are held across the world featuring prominent and respected specialists in their respective fields.  If there is a conference that you’re interested in watching or speaker that you would like to listen to but you can’t attend the conference itself - the next best thing is to watch the online video stream instead.

Unfortunately although all TED Talks can be streamed, not all of them can be downloaded. That can be a bit of a problem, especially if you want a video that you can transfer to your mobile device so that you don’t need to waste your mobile internet bandwidth by streaming it.

Using Screen Capture To Save TED Talks

Once nice way to save and download TED Talks that are only available as online video streams is by enlisting the help of Movavi Screen Capture Studio. Because it is able to record video footage directly from your screen, all you need to do is set it up to record the TED Talks video stream by following these steps:

1. Select ‘Capture Screen’ in the main window.
2. Adjust the capture frame to encompass the TED Talks video stream by resizing and positioning it accordingly.
3. Check that there is a green tick on the ‘System Audio’ icon – and click it so that the tick appears if it isn’t already there.
4. Click ‘REC’ to start recording, and play the TED Talks video at the same time.
5. When the video is done, click ‘Stop’ to stop recording and then click ‘Save’ to save it and use one of the presets to optimize it for the mobile device you’re using.

Edit the Video

While that is all you really need to know to download TED Talks, the real advantage of using Movavi Screen Capture Studio is that you can also benefit from its video editing features. For example, you may want to trim away any unwanted segments of video that were inadvertently recorded and enhance the video quality before you transfer it to your mobile device.

Essentially you will have all the tools to do what you want with the video that you’ve downloaded.
