Choose how a video opens from a talk page

Choose a provider URL or ID, trusted embed code, or external URL for a talk video.

Written by Benjamin Dell

Use the option that matches the attendee experience you want: play the video on the HeySummit talk page, paste trusted provider embed code, or send attendees to another website. In the event dashboard, go to Content & Schedule > Sessions, then select Actions > Manage Session for the session. Open Broadcast to choose its Broadcast Type and Provider; use Save and Close to save your changes. Configure a separate replay in the Replay step.


​

Play the video on the HeySummit talk page

  • For a live broadcast, choose Live broadcast, select the provider, and paste the stream URL or ID requested by that source.

  • For a pre-recorded talk or replay, choose the matching video provider and paste its video URL or ID.

  • For many named providers, HeySummit accepts the full provider URL and saves the ID it needs automatically.


​

Use Embed Code

Choose Embed Code when the provider gives you a complete iframe or script snippet and there is no better named provider option. Paste the complete code, not only the URL inside it. Use code only from a provider you trust because it runs on the talk page.


​

Send attendees to another website

Choose External URL when attendees should leave the HeySummit talk page and join the session or watch the video elsewhere. Paste the complete attendee-facing URL rather than host, presenter, or admin access details.


​

Before publishing the event

  • Save the talk and use Preview to test the video or destination.

  • Test provider privacy, domain, embedding, and sharing settings in a signed-out browser window.

  • Do not paste private host links, passwords, API keys, or other credentials into a customer-facing field.
