Use the Live Stream broadcast option when you want the video to play directly on the HeySummit talk page.
Add a live stream to a talk
Create or schedule the stream in your chosen streaming provider.
From your HeySummit dashboard, go to Content > Talks.
Open the ... menu for the talk, then choose Manage Talk.
When asked how you would like to broadcast the talk, choose Live Stream.
Choose the stream provider you want to use.
Paste the full stream URL, stream ID, or embed code requested for that provider.
Click Save.
HeySummit can accept either a full provider URL or the provider-specific ID for many stream providers. For Embed Code, paste the full embed code supplied by your streaming provider.
Current live-stream options
The available live-stream options include HeyStream, Vimeo Live, YouTube Live, Vidyard Live, Streamyard, Twitch Live, Butter, Restream, Gumlet Live, OneStreamLive, Castr Live, advanced custom streams, and Embed Code.
Live chat
For providers that support native embedded chat, HeySummit may show an Auto-embed Stream Chat option. When this is enabled, the provider's chat can appear with the stream instead of HeySummit's own talk-page chat during the live session.
If you want to use HeySummit's chat, Q&A, polls, and other interactive features, leave the provider chat option off where available and use the HeySummit talk page experience instead.
Before going live
Preview the talk after saving the stream details.
Run a test broadcast before promoting the event publicly.
Check any provider-specific privacy, embed, domain, or plan settings inside the streaming platform.
