We recently rolled out a brand-new live player. It maintains the same embeddable ease as our previous player (some things will never change), but comes with a host of improvements for you. Read on for more:
Expand your audio content’s reach by embedding this custom player on your existing sites
What’s new?
- When you’re live, your live stream and event image is featured on the player
- If you’re off-air, your next scheduled event or your channel’s theme is displayed
- You now have two sizes to choose from: wide or square
- Audio visuals are displayed on the player when a listener hits play

What stays the same
- Always ad-free — we’ll never include ads in your player (it’s your player, your content)
- Copy and paste simplicity
- The same stable audio stream is broadcast on your channel, the listener apps and your player
How does it work?
- Head to your channel settings and select Live Player
- Choose between a wide or square size
- Copy and paste the widget code onto your site’s HTML editor
If you have a WordPress site, you should be able to see a preview of your new player in your HTML editor before publishing. For other site hosts, check out this help article for more details. And if you require support, please get in touch — we’d love to help!
This new release sets the foundation for other exciting updates to come. (Hint: elements that are linked to your channel!) With Channels, you have more choices, more control over your content and branding, which now extends to your custom audio player.
