Common questions. Straight answers.
Is TED content licensed for commercial display?
TED Talks are available under the Creative Commons licence for non-commercial use. For commercial signage environments, Hangar.Media provides content through licensed arrangements. Contact Hangar.Media to confirm licensing for your specific use case.
Can I exclude specific talks or speakers?
Yes. You can exclude individual talks, specific speakers, or entire topic categories from your playlists. The moderation controls ensure only appropriate content appears on your screens.
Are subtitles available?
Yes. Most TED Talks include subtitles in multiple languages. Subtitles are enabled by default for digital signage playback since many environments play content with low or no audio volume.
Can I mix TED content with other signage content?
Yes. TED Talks can be mixed into your regular signage playlist alongside promotions, announcements, and other content. You can schedule TED content for specific times of day or dedicate specific screens to TED-only playlists.
