Add a Loom video to a talk

Use a Loom-hosted video for a pre-recorded talk or replay.

Written by Holly

You can use a Loom-hosted video for a pre-recorded talk or as a replay. HeySummit accepts the Loom sharing URL or the video ID, so you do not need to extract the ID manually.


​

Get the Loom video link

  1. Open the recording's share page in Loom.

  2. Select Share, set the link access to Anyone with the link, and copy the video link. Loom's sharing guide explains the current access options.

  3. Open the link in a private or signed-out browser window and confirm the video plays without requiring a Loom sign-in. Loom’s workspace-only or specific-people restrictions can prevent embedded playback because Loom cannot verify that viewer’s identity in the embed.


​

Add the video in HeySummit

  1. In your event dashboard, go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.

  2. Open the session's Actions menu and choose Manage Session.

  3. For a pre-recorded session, open Broadcast and set Broadcast Type to Pre-recorded. For a separate replay, open Replay, keep Will There Be a Replay? set to Yes, and select Choose another if a broadcast recording is already being used.

  4. Choose Loom as the provider.

  5. Paste the full Loom sharing URL or the video ID, then select Save and Close. If you prefer to paste Loom's complete iframe snippet, choose HeySummit's separate Embed Code provider instead.

Test the video

Use the session’s Preview action and select the relevant pre-recorded or replay view. Confirm the video loads and plays while signed in as an event team member. Check the normal session page separately with an existing authorised attendee: organiser preview can bypass HeySummit ticket checks and scheduled seeking. Provider access settings still apply. If it does not, recheck the Loom link and its access settings. For the full HeySummit workflow, see Set up a pre-recorded talk and Preview a talk page before your event.
