Distraction Free
There are a lot of distractions on YouTube. Keep your audience focused on your website and YouTube Live video.
A YouTube embed that actually works for live streams
WordPress lets you paste a YouTube URL and it auto-embeds. But that only works for saved videos. Live streams need a different approach because the URL changes every time you go live. EmbedVidio solves this by detecting your live stream automatically and displaying it on your WordPress site the moment you start broadcasting.
No plugin conflicts, no site slowdowns
Heavy WordPress plugins can break your theme, conflict with page builders, or slow your site to a crawl. EmbedVidio is a simple embed code, not a plugin. It works with Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, and any theme. Your site stays fast and your live stream just works.
Your viewers stay on your site instead of disappearing to YouTube
YouTube's embedded player shows recommended videos when your stream ends. Viewers click one and they're gone, watching someone else's content. EmbedVidio's distraction-free player keeps people on your WordPress site where they can explore your pages, sign up for your list, or make a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about embedding live streams on your website.
EmbedVidio works like a YouTube Live plugin for WordPress but without the typical plugin headaches. You paste a single embed code into a Custom HTML block in WordPress, and your YouTube live streams appear on your site automatically.
No plugin installations, no updates, no compatibility issues with your theme. It just works.
Connect your YouTube channel to EmbedVidio, copy the embed code, and paste it into a Custom HTML block on any WordPress page or post. For step-by-step instructions, see our WordPress embedding guide.
After that one-time setup, every YouTube Live stream you start plays on your WordPress site automatically. No manual updating required.
Yes. When you go live on YouTube, EmbedVidio detects the stream and starts playing it on your WordPress page within seconds. Visitors already on the page see it appear in real time without needing to refresh.
This is a significant improvement over traditional WordPress plugins that can take minutes to detect streams and require page reloads.
The widget automatically switches to displaying your recent YouTube videos. You can choose from six layouts including wall, grid, collage, slider, carousel, and single video. Your WordPress page always has content, even between live streams.
You can also configure a custom placeholder image if you prefer a static display when offline.
Yes. EmbedVidio supports YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch on the same widget. Connect all your platforms, and the widget detects whichever one goes live.
This means one embed code on your WordPress site handles all your streaming platforms. No need for separate plugins.
EmbedVidio starts at $9/month (or $7/month billed yearly) for up to 3 widgets. All plans include automatic live detection, every layout template, and multi-platform support for YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.
We offer a free 7-day trial with no credit card required. Set it up on your WordPress site and test it with a real YouTube Live broadcast before committing.
