Use Adobe Connect with a HeySummit talk

Written by Benjamin Dell

Adobe Connect is not a separate HeySummit broadcast provider. If you want attendees to join an Adobe Connect room, add the Adobe Connect attendee link to your talk using External URL.


​

Add the Adobe Connect link

  1. Create or choose the room in Adobe Connect and copy the attendee join URL.

  2. From your HeySummit dashboard, go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.

  3. Open Actions for the talk, then choose Manage Session.

  4. Open Broadcast and set Broadcast Type to External URL.

  5. Paste the Adobe Connect attendee URL into the field.

  6. Select Save and Close.

Current session Broadcast controls: external


​

When the session is available, attendees use its join button to open the external page. The link opens in a new tab; it does not embed the provider’s room.

Before going live

  • Test the attendee flow so you know whether Adobe Connect asks attendees to sign in, register, or wait for host approval.

  • Join early so the host and speakers can test microphone, camera, room permissions, and any content that will be shared in Adobe Connect.

  • If you want the talk to play inside the HeySummit talk page, use one of HeySummit's supported embedded webinar, live-stream, or pre-recorded options instead of External URL.


​

Use the room’s attendee URL and check its access settings. Adobe Connect can require a registered account, accepted guest or passcode; adding the link in HeySummit does not grant those permissions. See Adobe Connect’s meeting-room and access guide. Test the normal session page with an existing authorised attendee as well as checking organiser preview. Organiser preview can bypass HeySummit ticket checks; it does not prove that an attendee has access to the external service.
