Use Microsoft Teams with a HeySummit talk

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit does not have a separate native Microsoft Teams provider. To use Teams with a talk, send attendees to your Teams meeting or webinar link when the talk starts.

Add the Teams URL to the talk

  1. Create or prepare the meeting or webinar in Microsoft Teams.

  2. Copy the attendee join link or registration link you want attendees to use.

  3. In HeySummit, go to Content > Talks.

  4. Open the ... menu for the talk, then choose Manage Talk.

  5. When asked how you would like to broadcast the talk, choose Send to an External URL.

  6. Paste the Teams URL.

  7. Click Save.

When the talk is live, attendees can join from HeySummit and will be sent to Teams.

What to check in Teams

External URL talks do not automatically register attendees with Microsoft Teams. Check the Teams meeting or webinar settings so attendees can join as expected, especially if Teams registration, lobby, organization, or sign-in settings apply.

Email and attendee flow

Depending on your event settings, reminder-style emails may send attendees to the HeySummit talk page or include the external join link. Either way, attendees should have a completed HeySummit registration and the right ticket access before joining from HeySummit.

Before going live

  • Preview the HeySummit talk after saving the Teams URL.

  • Open the Teams URL in a private browser window to check the attendee experience.

  • Confirm whether attendees can join in the browser, need the Teams app, or need to pass through a lobby before entering.
