When a community publishes a recording or wrap-up media, watch it from the event page (and sometimes the chapter page). Sign in when the video requires it. If nothing appears, the host may not have published a recording yet.

Communities do not always publish a recording after an event. When they do, you usually watch it on the event page. Some communities also place a video on a chapter page. You do not download session files from the organizer dashboard — that area is for hosts and organizers only.

• Event page media player — an on-demand video the community published for that event (Video on Demand / Media Library).
• Wrap-up media — featured video, slides, or photos the organizers add for a completed event.
• Chapter page media player — an on-demand video the chapter published on its page (when that community uses it).

Watch a recording on the event page

Start here for most published event recordings.

1. Open the event page for the event you attended (or the event whose recording was shared with you).
2. Sign in if the page asks you to log in before the video plays.
3. Look for a video player on the page:
   • On-demand / Media Library player — plays a video the community hosted in Bevy for that event. For most events, published recordings appear after the event ends. On a multi-day Bevy Virtual Conference, organizers may publish a session recording while the conference is still running.
   • Wrap-up video — a featured video (often an external link) that appears on the page after the event has ended.
4. Select play. If a short survey appears before the video, complete it when required, then continue.

The same event page may also show wrap-up slides or a photo gallery when organizers publish those. Those are separate from the video player.

Watch a recording on a chapter page

Some communities publish chapter-owned videos on the chapter page (not only on an event page).

1. Open the chapter page for that group.
2. Sign in if prompted.
3. Look for a media / video player on the page and select play.

If you do not see a player, that chapter may not publish videos on its page, or your account may not meet the access level for the published video.

Access: sign-in, registration, and membership

Each published video has an access level set by organizers. What you need depends on that setting:

The player shows different messages depending on whether you are signed out or signed in without permission:

• Please log in to view this content — you are not signed in (or your session expired).
  1. Select the community sign-in option and sign in with the account that has access.
  2. Return to the event page, chapter page, or shared /media/… link (refresh if the player still shows the login message).
  3. Select play again.
• You do not have access to this video (often with Ask the organizer if you need access) — you are signed in, but this account is not in the allowed audience. Work through these checks in order:
  1. Confirm you are signed in with the same email you used to register for the event or join the chapter. Sign out, then sign in with that account, and open the page again.
  2. If the recording is limited to event attendees and you never registered, you usually cannot register after the event ends just to unlock the recording. Contact the host or chapter organizers. Exception: on a multi-day Bevy Virtual Conference that is still in progress, registration may still be open — register for the conference, then try the session recording again.
  3. If the recording is limited to chapter members (or members and attendees) and you are not a member, join the hosting chapter when membership is open, then try again.
  4. If you still cannot play after using the correct account (and joining the chapter when that applies), contact the host or chapter organizers and ask them to confirm the recording’s access level or grant access.
