Currently, HeySummit has full integrations with 6 webinar platforms - BigMarker, LiveWebinar, Zoom Webinar, Remo, Stellar and GoToWebinar. This means that your attendees and speakers can join the live talks without needing to sign in to third-party webinar platforms. As an event organiser, however, you must ensure each talk has a host with a webinar platform account.

​

Each of our live integrations allows you to use your live webinar platform accounts with HeySummit (n.b. there are no HeySummit plans that include webinar platform accounts).

Here's a quick guide to the plans available on each platform, with detailed descriptions of pricing, features, languages, and recording options.

Please note, pricing below is in USD. Please see each webinar provider for conversions.

A host is defined as someone who schedules, starts and controls the settings on the webinar. In addition, if you choose to be billed annually instead of monthly, the prices per month go down to $79, $159 and $299. More information on pricing is available on their site - including their White Label option which can support up to 10,000 attendees.

Be sure to check out pricing in your area and for annual plans too by heading here. Don't forget - if you are planning on running concurrent sessions on HeySummit with the same webinar provider, you'll need the matching number of licenses/hosts.

Here's a selection of features each integration actively promotes for their live webinar solutions. It's not meant to be exhaustive, and obviously there are other features besides those we've named in this section. Additionally, they may vary from plan to plan. Be sure to contact the webinar provider support or sales team for more information.

No software downloads required as it works from your browser, HD audio & video, HD screen sharing, customisable conference rooms, automatic recordings, the ability to queue and play recorded videos during your live talk, easily upload presentations, whiteboard tool and unlimited presenters. These are a selection of their live webinar features - the list goes on.

Option to translate to your browser's language, but this is not always accurate (as is usually the case with Google Translate). It's also an individual setting, meaning hosts would be able to adjust their own settings for the website and webinar room, but not that of the whole room, i.e. their attendees and speakers.

You can pick an option from 14 languages, depending on your localisation and allow your participants to change the language by themselves.

Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. They also have Language Interpreter support which will allow interpreters to provide their own audio channels for the language they are translating to. Attendees can select an audio channel to hear their language of choice.

You can translate the Remo site by changing your browser settings.

Organisers can change their webinar event language for each scheduled event. Your options are German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Brazil Portuguese

One key difference we like to point out is the recording and replay function of each integration. Currently, only BigMarker will automatically record and upload replays to your HeySummit site. However, you can manually record (using either in-built software or your own preferred external recording tool) and upload your talks to HeySummit. This is easily done via your Talks page - Click for more information here.

Automatically records and uploads your HeySummit talk to your site for replay purposes.

You have to remember to manually record and upload your replay to HeySummit.

A key thing to consider is how much effort and money you're going to want to spend on these integrations with HeySummit. Each has their pros and cons and will require some getting used to, since they work independently from HeySummit. Ultimately, we think these are all great live webinar platforms (hence the option of integrating with them) and we'd love to hear your feedback on which live webinar provider you love the most.
