Do you need a webinar platform to use HeySummit?

Written by Benjamin Dell

You may need a separate webinar, meeting, livestream, or video-hosting account depending on the type of sessions you want to run. HeySummit manages the event around your content. Live delivery can use HeyStream where your account has access, a connected webinar provider, an embedded stream, or an external URL.


​

For live talks

For live talks, choose HeyStream where available or a suitable webinar, meeting or streaming provider. You can connect supported providers through External Webinar Accounts, or you can send attendees to an external URL or embedded livestream that you manage yourself. Current native Webinar Platform Host options include Zoom Webinar, Zoom Meeting, BigMarker, LiveWebinar, GoToWebinar, Webex, and BrainCert. The options shown in your dashboard are the best source of truth because provider availability and account requirements can change.


​

For pre-recorded talks and replays

Use a video host or embed source for pre-recorded talks and replays. For example, you might use YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny.net, Wistia, or another supported video source, then add the video URL, ID, or embed code to the talk in HeySummit.

What attendees need

Attendees start from your HeySummit event. Depending on the provider and delivery settings, they may watch an embedded session or follow a link to the external platform. Check the provider’s admission settings to confirm whether attendees must sign in or register there. HeySummit registration and ticket requirements apply when access is checked on your event page.
