How to Embed Live Video on WordPress | Auto-Detect, No Plugin

Why Embed Live Video on WordPress?

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, and if you're streaming on Facebook or YouTube, up to 30% of your audience may never see it because they don't have accounts on those platforms. Embedding live video directly on your WordPress site keeps viewers on your domain, eliminates social media distractions, and means you never have to update an embed code again. One paste, and your site handles the rest.

1

Create Your Free Account

Sign up at embedvid.io. No credit card required. Your 7-day free trial includes every feature and layout.

2

Connect Your Streaming Platform

Link your YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch account. This is what lets EmbedVidio automatically detect when you go live. No manual triggering needed.

3

Choose Your Layout and Customize

Pick from 6 responsive layouts: Live Player, Wall, Grid, Collage, Slider, or Carousel. Match your WordPress theme with custom colors and branding.

4

Paste the Embed Code in WordPress

Copy the embed code from your dashboard. In Gutenberg, add a Custom HTML block and paste it. In Elementor, use the HTML widget. For other page builders, use their HTML or code embed module.
This is the only time you'll touch any code. Once it's pasted, you're done.

5

Go Live and Your Site Updates Automatically

Start streaming on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. EmbedVidio detects it within seconds and your WordPress page shows the live stream automatically. When it ends, your site switches back to your saved videos or placeholder. No page refresh, no manual work.

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!

Your app has been a definite blessing. A number of members do not use Facebook and for that reason, have been unable to watch our livestream services. Now, they can! Thank you!
