[BrightTALK Central] How does the "Promote and share" step work?

While scheduling a Talk, Replay or Video you may encounter an optional  "Promote and share" step which provides links to promote your content in email and social media as well as an embed code for your website.  This guide will answer some of the common questions about this:

How is the link generated?

How does the embed code work?

I noticed this step got skipped, why did that happen?

How is the link generated?

The link is generated based on your channel configuration- basically whether or not you've asked us enable "webcast redirection" for your Channel:

If webcast redirection is NOT enabled (default setting):

The link will always be to the public brighttalk.com page for this content.  The link is broken into the following parts:

• Base:  www.brighttalk.com/webcast/
• Your channel id:  i.e. [12345]
• The id of this content: i.e. [123456]
• The UTM parameters
  • UTM_Source = The "Organization" name of your Channel
  • UTM_Medium = BrightTALK
  • UTM_Campaign = the id of this content (i.e. [123456])

If webcast redirection is  enabled (custom setting):

We will always display whatever value you have provided to us for that setting.

How does the embed code work?

The embed code is always the "Single content embed" for this content and will allow you to display it on your website, landing page, or blog.

I noticed this step got skipped, why is that?

We always skip this step if your content was set to "Practice(private)" since in most cases, we assume you are not going to publicly promote a practice event.
