Accepting Submissions
The lawsuit alleges that TED disclosed account holders' personal information to third-party service providers without informed, written consent, in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act. TED denies wrongdoing. If you do nothing, you get two free months of TED Membership, estimated to be worth at least $10, once you activate it. You can instead file a claim for a $5 cash payment or a donation, and cash payments may be reduced pro rata because TED will pay no more than $350,000 for valid claims.
Claims are due October 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., which is also the deadline to opt out or object. The court will hold a final approval hearing on November 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. in New York. Choosing cash or the donation option means you do not get the free membership.
Eligibility
You may qualify if you had a TED account in the United States and watched a pre-recorded video on TED.com or the TED iOS or Android app between October 19, 2021, and July 14, 2026. You get the free membership automatically, but you must file a claim to choose cash.
