Crowdcast is designed to be as quick and painless as possible with easy setup, a single URL, and no required downloads. You can use our Send to an External URL option after creating the event meeting within Crowdcast.
When the session goes live at the scheduled time, they will be re-directed to watch the talk in a separate Crowdcast window after clicking the 'Watch now' button on the HeySummit talk page. If you want to embed Crowdcast directly into the HeySummit window, you can find out how to do this here.

Important Things to Note:
Check the attendee flow
Since you aren't using a full integration, your attendees will not be auto-registered for your session within your video provider. They may be prompted to enter their details when joining the session.
Check-in early!
If you'd like a quick mic and camera check before the session starts, make sure you and your Speakers join before the session starts.
