How to follow our 2018 #wefimpact meeting in New York

Driving progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and tackling climate change are no easy tasks, but no global challenge is too daunting to address as long as we work together. The Forum's Sustainable Development Impact Summit aims to provide a truly global platform for bringing the best minds together to solve the world’s most pressing and complex problems. It's taking place in New York, 24-25 September.

How to embed the livestream

You will be able to watch, embed and download many sessions, press conferences and interviews live as webcasts on http://wef.ch/sdi18

You will also be able to watch many of the sessions live on our Facebook video page: https://www.facebook.com/WEFvideo/

To embed the main player (responsive) on your website, copy and paste the following:

<iframe src="https://webcasts.weforum.org/widget/1/sdi2018?p=1&pi=1&ms=1&hl=%20english" width="970px" height="696px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

This code will add a section to your website that will look like this:

For a more advanced version of the embed code click on the “embed” button, where you can configure the player for a different language interface1, a different background colour, set the autoplay to ‘on’ or ‘off’ and choose different video player layouts or sizes.

You can embed any of the individual sessions being broadcasted directly to your website. To do that, select the title of the session you want to embed and click on the embed button furthest to the left.

Once you click on the embed button you will be able to configure the embed code to:

● show only the video without any information
● show the video player with title and description
●select different background colours

● change the default audio language if there is more than one, and,

●set autoplay ‘on’ or ‘off’

For instance to embed the session “Building Sustainable Markets” the following code will be generated after clicking on the embed button:

<iframe src="https://webcasts.weforum.org/widget/1/sdi2018?p=1&pi=1&hl= english&id=a0W0X00000CYTmTUAX" width="970px" height="822px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

IMPORTANT: The videos will start playing automatically once the session starts. Once the session finishes, it will take a few minutes for the session to be available on demand. The same code will play the video on demand once it is ready. You can leave it on your page or you can add the same code to your “video on demand” library.
