Understanding When Your Event Replays Will Be Available

Written by Benjamin Dell

A replay becomes watchable when the session’s timing and replay settings allow it, a playable video source is available, and the attendee has access. An attendee does not have to watch the original broadcast to make its replay available.


​

Check the recording and session settings

  • For a scheduled session, open Content & Schedule > Sessions > Actions > Manage Session > Replay. Keep Will There Be a Replay? set to Yes and check the recording source.

  • A pre-recorded session can reuse its broadcast recording. Some embedded live-stream sources can also be reused, if that recording remains available from the provider. Otherwise add a separate recording.

  • BigMarker and LiveWebinar can supply recordings automatically for eligible recent sessions. Other workflows may require a manual replay. See adding a live-session replay and automatic BigMarker replay checks.

  • Check Actions > Advanced Settings > Other Settings: Disable Replays? must be off if you want that replay enabled.

  • Scheduled playback changes to the replay experience after the configured session duration. A listing or navigation link alone does not prove that its video is ready.

Find replays on the event site

The Replays link depends on available replay content and the event’s configured navigation. Ticket restrictions, custom menus and event modes can affect visibility. If Keep Replays In Schedule? is enabled, the separate Replays navigation link is hidden and completed scheduled sessions stay in the schedule instead.


​

Choose the replay layout

Go to Event Settings > Event Experience > Live & Replay Experience. In Replays, set Display Order, Group By and Show Dates?, or keep completed sessions in the schedule. Save your changes.

Content without a scheduled broadcast

For an on-demand library, add the recording in the session’s Video step and use Available From to make it available now or choose a go-live date. See adding on-demand videos. For attendee-specific timing, see evergreen events.
