Use a custom comments provider to replace HeySummit’s default comments on session pages. This requires a plan with Advanced Integrations. Disqus provides a supported universal embed. Facebook’s old external-site Comments plugin was retired on 10 February 2026 and no longer displays; do not use the previous Facebook snippet. See Meta’s retirement announcement.
Configure custom comments
Get the current code from your provider. For Disqus, register your site and find its forum shortname.
In HeySummit, go to Event Settings > Integrations & Developer > Integrations. Under Session Comments Provider, select Configure.
Paste the complete trusted snippet in JS / HTML Embed Code. Use {{ current_url }} for the full session page URL, with no leading #.
Turn on Enable Custom Comments? and select Save. The code field is required when enabled.
Disqus example
This follows Disqus’s current universal embed guide. Replace EXAMPLE with your registered forum shortname, which can differ from your account name. HeySummit replaces {{ current_url }} with the session’s absolute URL without its query string. Using that URL as the identifier keeps discussions separate by session.
<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script>
var disqus_config = function () {
this.page.url = "{{ current_url }}";
this.page.identifier = this.page.url;
};
(function () {
var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = 'https://EXAMPLE.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
</script>
Check or switch back
Check a session page with the intended attendee role after saving and follow the provider’s current domain, account and privacy requirements. If you previously used Facebook comments, replace the obsolete snippet with a supported provider or turn off Enable Custom Comments? and save. For HeySummit comments, also enable Enable Comments? in Live & Replay Experience. Switching providers does not automatically migrate their existing discussions.
