Using wave.video and Steps in Locating the Video ID

Written by Holly

Use a hosted wave.video recording for a pre-recorded session or replay. HeySummit’s named Wave Video source supports recordings; it is not a native wave.video live-stream source.


​

Find the video ID

  1. In wave.video, find the video in your videos or Projects list. Open its three-dot menu and choose Player.

  2. Open Embed, enable embedding and choose Inline embed. Copy the embed code.

​

See wave.video’s official embedding guide. In the iframe URL, copy the ID after https://embed.wave.video/, stopping before any query parameters. The example below highlights 96hx61RscSagCUk3; use your own video’s ID.

Add the recording in HeySummit

Open Content & Schedule > Sessions > Actions > Manage Session > Broadcast. Choose Pre-recorded, then Wave Video. Paste the video ID or supported embed URL, review playback options, and select Save and Close. For a separate recording after a session, choose Wave Video on Replay instead.

Check playback

Use the session’s Preview action and select the relevant pre-recorded or replay view. Confirm the video loads and plays while signed in as an event team member. Check the normal session page separately with an existing authorised attendee: organiser preview can bypass HeySummit ticket checks and scheduled seeking. Provider access settings still apply. Recheck wave.video embedding permissions if the video fails to load. See pre-recorded setup and video testing.
