This Hilarious Viral TikTok Filter Actually Makes You The Star Of Your Own Ted Talk

Inviting your followers to your very own TikTok Ted Talk has never been easier, thanks to a viral new Instagram filter. If you're one of the many users who've realized they need to leave the app to get the effect, you might be wondering how to get the Ted Talk Instagram filter on TikTok. Follow these easy steps to seamlessly share your ~hot takes~ on whatever subject.

Thanks to Instagram user @SlimShader_, regular people can follow in the steps of famous public figures like Stephen Hawking and Brené Brown by making their own Ted Talk and sharing it with their followers. Naturally, the "Tod Talk" Instagram filter pokes fun at the seriousness of a traditional Ted Talk by virtually affixing the user's face on a tiny cartoon body, and the content being geared more toward the mundane rather than "aha moments." At the end of your speech, the camera zooms away and you can see a crowd of virtual people clapping and cheering at all the wisdom you're imparting while your face appears in a screen at the back of the stage.

Unsurprisingly, the filter is trending on TikTok, and as of Jan. 28, the hashtag #TodTalk had 311.7K views. With users looking to put a comedic spin on their own Ted Talks, you might be tempted to join the bandwagon. Luckily, finding it on Instagram and then importing your video into TikTok is very easy.

Once you tap on the filter, you'll want to record your video then save it to your device to import into TikTok.
