Is HeySummit a webinar provider? and if not, what provider options do you have?

HeySummit is not a webinar service- you actually (might) need to have a webinar platform to use with HeySummit (depending on if you want your talks to be either live or pre-recorded). Do also note that your attendees will not need separate webinar provider accounts.
​
To check out our different webinar integrations, head to our HelpDocs on Zoom, LiveWebinar, or BigMarker. Do note, you may use other providers using the custom stream feature.
​
Although we are not a webinar provider and use external providers, HeySummit ensures that all of your summit's talks which require tickets or attendee registration are not simply shareable by links - people who don't have a ticket to your summit wouldn't be able to access any of the content (even if they receive a link to your site from someone who has a ticket).
​
A 'Pass is Needed' pop-up (screenshot) would appear for anyone who tries to access any content, thus blocking anyone who isn't registered or purchased a ticket to view the content. They will, however, be redirected to a page enabling them to register or purchase tickets.

We highly encourage you to run and create a Test Summit so you can see what the attendee flow is (from attendee registration to the talk finally going live).
