Embed an Airtime video on your website

You can put an Airtime video directly on your own website or blog, so people watch it there instead of following a link.

Before you start

The video must be Public. If it isn't, the Embed option won't appear in the Share dialog at all. The Embed option is also hidden on narrow windows and small screens.

Get the embed code

  1. Open the video and click Share.
  2. Click Embed.
  3. In the Embed video panel, choose a size:
    • Automatic size (selected by default) — the video scales to fit whatever space it's in.
    • Fixed size — set an exact Width and Height. Defaults to 853 × 480.
  4. If your video has chapters, tick Show chapter timeline to include them in the player.
  5. Click Copy, then paste the code into your site's HTML.

You'll also see an Embed option with a Get Code button on the screen shown right after you publish a video.

Copy the whole snippet

If you chose Automatic size, the code is a <div> wrapped around the <iframe>. Copy all of it. The <div> is what makes the video scale correctly — pasting only the <iframe> will make the video collapse or display at the wrong height.

What viewers see

The embedded player shows your video with playback controls, its title and author, and a share icon. Comments, reactions and transcripts aren't included — those stay on the Airtime page.

The video doesn't play automatically; viewers press play.

Views from your embedded video are counted, so plays on your site show up in the video's view count along with plays on Airtime.
