Scenario
Having created your sessions and added your speakers, you need to connect a Webinar Platform Host. This is the webinar account HeySummit will use to create or manage live sessions for your talks.
Quick Start
Make sure you are logged in as the event organizer and open your event dashboard.
Go to Event Setup > Webinar Hosts and choose Add Host.
Enter the name and email address for the person or account that owns the webinar provider account.
After the host is created, click Connect.
Select your webinar provider from the native integration options, including Zoom Webinar, Zoom Meeting, BigMarker, LiveWebinar, GoToWebinar, Webex, BrainCert, and other options shown in your dashboard.
After choosing a provider:
Follow the connection steps shown for that provider. Some providers use an authorization flow, while others ask for an API key, channel, or account-specific setting.
Check that the host shows as Active after the connection is successful.
When you create or edit a live talk, select the connected host as the talk's webinar provider.
Top tip: you may need more than one host account if your webinar provider account cannot support simultaneous sessions, expected attendee capacity, or all speakers using the same account. Check your provider account limits before the event goes live.
