How to use the embedded player?

The embedded player is a product that can be added to third party websites as a "window" to reproduce a show hosted at RSS.com.

To add the podcast episode player into a website, you'll simply need to copy and paste the embed code into an HTML block where you'd like the player to appear. This code can be found right in your dashboard or in your public page. In this article, we'll show you how.

Embedding a show from your public page

Go to your public page and click on "Share":

Select the "Embedded" option:

Choose between Latest Episode and Show

The option "Latest Episode" will be selected by default. The embedded player will feature a smart link, dynamically showcasing the most recent episode from the show.

On the other hand, by selecting "Show", the embedded player displays the latest episode and a playlist with the most recent episodes of your show.

Embedding a particular episode

Similarly, to share an episode, go to the episode page and click on "Share".

Again, you'll be prompted with a modal to click on "Embedded".

This time, though, the "Episode" option will be automatically selected by default. This means that the embedded player will feature the episode from where it is selected. If you shared the 41st episode, the embedded player will be set to always play the 41st episode, not rolling the latest as we've seen above. It will be static on the 41st.

Selecting "Show", however, mirrors the behavior described above for the show public page, showcasing the most recent episode.

Sharing from your dashboard

You can also share an episode from the dashboard the same way we did it in your public page above. It works exactly the same.

To share the entire show, click in the share button at the top of the "My Podcast".

Similarly, to share an episode, click on the three dots next to the episode and select share.

The same menu as in Public Pages will be available where you will then have access to the following section where you will be able to choose from three different themes, which will give you a preview of how it looks and the link to the embed.

After this, you just have to click on "Copy embed code" and use it.
