Use Crowdcast’s full embed code to show an existing Crowdcast event or available recording inside a HeySummit session. This is a generic embed, so HeySummit registrations do not automatically register viewers with Crowdcast.
Copy the Crowdcast code
Set up the event in Crowdcast, open it and choose Share in the top-right corner.
Copy the full Embed code. Review dimensions if needed; Crowdcast documents an 800-pixel default height, which you can adjust for your page. A fixed 410-pixel height is not a HeySummit requirement.
Follow Crowdcast’s current embedding guide. The host can see Share even when an event is not public.
Add the embed to a session
Open Content & Schedule > Sessions > Actions > Manage Session > Broadcast.
For a recording, choose Pre-recorded. For an actual live event, choose Live broadcast. In either case select Embed Code.
Paste the full trusted snippet in Paste your Custom Embed code. Do not paste an embed ID in a named video provider’s ID field. Select Save and Close.
What attendees experience
The embedded player is view-only. Attendees can watch on the HeySummit page but must open Crowdcast to use its chat, questions or other interactive features.
Crowdcast still requires its own registration or sign-in. Some authentication actions open a new tab; an email login link leads to Crowdcast rather than back to HeySummit.
Mobile and in-app browsers can restrict cookies, popups or sign-in. Crowdcast recommends the direct event URL for the best mobile experience. Use HeySummit’s External URL broadcast type when you want to send attendees there.
Hosts and speakers should use the main Crowdcast website; the embed cannot host an event. Join early for camera and microphone checks.
Review Crowdcast’s registration guide and test the intended viewer flow before the event. Use organiser Preview to check the player and layout, then 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.
