Use native webinar integrations when you want HeySummit to create and manage a live webinar or meeting for a talk through a connected provider account.
What native integration means
A native webinar integration connects a Webinar Platform Host in HeySummit to an external webinar provider. When you select that host on a live talk, HeySummit can create the webinar or meeting in the provider account, keep the talk connected to that session, register attendees where supported, and give speakers their join links. Attendees start from the HeySummit talk page. Depending on the provider and delivery settings, attendees may watch an embedded session or open the external platform.
Native provider options
Current native 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.
Native integrations require you to bring your own account with the webinar provider.
HeySummit plans do not include a third-party webinar account, provider licence, capacity allowance, or paid provider subscription.
If you already have a session somewhere else, or you want to use a provider that is not available as a native host, use an external URL, live stream, or custom embed instead.
Connect a Webinar Platform Host
In HeySummit, go to Event Settings > Integrations & Developer > External Webinar Accounts.
Choose Add Host.
Add the person or account that owns the webinar provider account.
If you manage the host account, use its Actions > Connect Provider menu. Alternatively, send login details so the host can manage its connection. Available actions depend on host ownership and access.
Open the session’s Broadcast settings. Choose Live broadcast, select the matching Provider, then select the connected account holder. Choose Zoom for Zoom Webinars or Zoom Meeting for meetings, then select Save and Close.
