HeySummit's native Zoom integration creates or connects standard Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings for HeySummit sessions. It does not create or manage events in the Zoom Events platform.
Choose the room for your HeySummit session
Zoom in the session's Provider field means a Zoom webinar, suited to a presenter-and-audience format.
Zoom Meeting is suited to sessions where attendees need more direct participation.
Connect your own suitable Zoom account to a Webinar Host, then choose that account holder when configuring the session. HeySummit can create future sessions, register attendees when needed and sync supported details. Multiple HeySummit sessions can also share an existing webinar when configured for that purpose.
Zoom Events and Webinars Plus
Zoom's event platform offers its own event pages, registration and event types. These can include single-session, recurring and multi-session formats, depending on the product and licence. A product described as Zoom Sessions or Webinars Plus is not automatically a standard Zoom webinar supported by HeySummit's native integration. Confirm that your Zoom account includes the standard Webinar or Meeting capability you intend to connect.
Which setup should I use?
Use HeySummit with standard Zoom Webinars or Meetings when you want HeySummit to manage the event site, schedule, registration, tickets, emails and event reporting around those live rooms.
Use Zoom's event platform directly if you want to build the event with its event products. HeySummit does not create a Zoom Events session through its native webinar connection.
See Zoom's guide to Events session and event types for the provider's current terminology.
