Distraction Free
There are a lot of distractions on YouTube. Keep your audience focused on your website and YouTube Live video.
Your website visitors shouldn't have to leave to watch you
Sending people to YouTube to watch your live stream means losing them to recommended videos, ads, and competitor content. When you embed YouTube Live on your website, viewers stay on your site. They watch your stream, browse your content, and take action, all without leaving.
One embed code that works for every future live stream
YouTube's default embed code only works for a single video. Next time you go live, you get a different URL and a different embed code. EmbedVidio detects your YouTube Live stream automatically and displays it on your website. No manual updates, no code swapping, no missed broadcasts.
A cleaner viewing experience without YouTube's distractions
YouTube's player shows recommended videos, subscribe prompts, and links to other channels. Your viewers end up watching someone else's content instead of yours. EmbedVidio's player is distraction-free. Your stream, your branding, your website. Nothing else.
What they say about EmbedVidio
Before EmbedVidio... after starting a live stream, I had to manually add the embed code to our website every time.
This was too much work in a short time before the event began. Now I don't have to worry about it. Fantastic!

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about embedding live streams on your website.
Connect your YouTube channel to EmbedVidio, pick a widget layout, and paste the embed code into your website. Setup takes under 5 minutes and works on any website platform.
After that, every time you go live on YouTube, your website detects the stream and starts playing it automatically. The embed code never needs updating.
Yes. EmbedVidio detects your YouTube live stream within seconds of going live and starts playing it on your website. Visitors already on the page see it appear in real time, no refresh needed.
This is a major improvement over manually embedding YouTube streams, where you have to grab a new embed code each time and viewers must reload the page.
When you're offline, the widget switches to showing your recent YouTube videos. You can choose from six layout templates including wall, grid, collage, slider, carousel, and single video. Visitors can browse and watch your past streams anytime.
You can also set a custom placeholder image if you prefer that over the video library.
EmbedVidio works with any website that supports HTML. That includes:
- WordPress using a Custom HTML block
- Squarespace using a Code block
- Wix using an HTML iframe element
- Shopify using a Custom Liquid section
- Weebly, Webflow, and custom HTML sites
For step-by-step instructions, check out our guide on how to embed live video on any website.
Yes. You can connect your YouTube channel and Facebook Page to the same widget. If you go live on either platform, the widget detects it and plays the stream on your website.
If you multistream to both platforms at once, the widget picks up whichever broadcast it detects first.
Plans start at $9/month (or $7/month billed yearly) for up to 3 widgets. All plans include automatic live detection, every layout option, and support for YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.
We offer a free 7-day trial with no credit card required. Set up your YouTube Live embed and test it with a real stream before deciding.
