Vbrick is a flexible and secure enterprise live streaming and video content management platform. You can embed Vbrick webcasts and pre-recorded videos in many places in the Webex Events Platform, and this article explains how!

Vbrick Rev's Help Guides have a lot of great information about how to use Vbrick Rev. We also suggest going to Vbrick's website to learn more about them.

You can link and embed a live stream (AKA webcast in Vbrick) hosted on VBrick Rev in a Live Stream feature or an Agenda session, and you can also embed pre-recorded video in a Live Stream feature, Agenda session, Speaker, Sponsor, or Exhibitor Profile, or a Custom List item.

First, create an event in Vbrick Rev and fill out the details. All settings, including when the Webcast starts, video source, and more, are controlled in the Vbrick Rev platform, outside Webex Events. Here are some great resources about Vbrick events and managing a webcast.

To ensure that attendees will have unrestricted access to the Vbrick Webcast in your Webex Events App, you should adjust the following settings when creating or editing a Vbrick event.

In the Attendees section on the Vbrick event, set the Listing Type to Public and set the Attendee Join Method to Anonymous. This ensures that attendees can view the Webcast in the Webex Events App without a Vbrick account or a password.

⭐️ Keep in mind, If you want to restrict live stream access to only attendees with a password that you share with them, add the password to the Password field. When attendees join the live stream in the Event App, they'll be prompted to enter the password before they can access the live stream content.

Don't forget to click Save!

Next, click the Embed Webcast button. In the modal that appears, select Video Only if you aren't using Vbrick's Q&A, Chat, and Polls and simply want to show the video in the Event App. Click Copy.

Now you're ready to paste the Embed code into a Live Stream feature or Agenda session. 🎊 If you don't need to upload and embed a pre-recorded video, skip to the next section for instructions on pasting the embed code in Webex Events.

First, upload a video to Vbrick Rev. To learn how, read Vbrick's Upload Video documentation.

Once you've uploaded the video, you'll need to adjust some Video Settings. The Video Settings page has a lot of useful settings, and we've highlighted a few important ones you should save when embedding a Vbrick video in Webex Events.

On the Video page, click the Sharing icon. If you want the video to play immediately after an attendee clicks the feature icon on the Event App, expand the Playback section and toggle Autoplay on. Select Embed and click Copy.

Now you're ready to add the Embed code to a feature item in Webex Events! 🎊

⭐️ Keep in mind, when embedding a Vbrick live stream or video in Webex Events, be sure to uncheck the 'Open link in external browser' checkbox so Web App users see the video or live stream embedded in your event. 👍

When editing a Live Stream feature or Agenda session, click the Live Stream drop-down and select Other. Paste the embed code in the Add the Embed Code field. The embed code contains the URL you'll need to paste in the Live Stream URL field.

Here's an example: Your embed code should follow this format:

Using the example above, the URL you'd paste in the Live Stream URL field would look something like this:

Leave the 'Open link in external browser' option unchecked. You can also enable Chat and add a Custom Tab in the Attendee Engagement section.

You can also select Other as the Agenda session's Video Recording provider and paste the Vbrick URL and embed code there!

Attendees simply click the Live Stream feature, and the video launches instantly. With an Agenda session, the video is available 15 minutes before the session's start time.

Sponsor, Exhibitor, Speaker, and Custom List features all support embedded pre-recorded video. For more information about these features, refer to the feature guides linked below:

When adding or editing a new item in the Sponsors, Exhibitors, Speakers, or Custom List features, select Other from the Content Provider drop-down and Add the URL and the embed code.

⭐️ Keep in mind, the Content Provider drop-down is only available when the feature is set to Grid View.

Click Save Changes when you're done.

When attendees using the Web App click on an item in one of these features, the Vbrick video appears in the middle of the screen.

You can restrict access to pre-recorded videos and livestreams through the Webex Events Platform via Event Privacy Settings, and you can use Groups to further restrict access.
