How To Embed EventLive Streams on Your Website

Julia EskinUpdated

EventLive provides embed options for paid events, so you can add the event page or video player to a website that accepts custom HTML.

  1. Sign in to the Broadcaster Console and open your event.
  2. Open Embed.
  3. Choose the layout and options. Keep Script (recommended) selected unless your website removes scripts, then copy the generated code.
  4. Paste the code into your website’s HTML/embed block and publish your page.
  5. Open that page as a viewer and test both playback and any access prompts.

Generating an embed does not remove the event’s publication, password, invitation or ticket requirements. Use the same event’s viewer link to check access if the embed does not work.

If your event has rooms, such as several stages or courts, the embedded event page shows a tab for each room.

Embed options

Open Embed in your event's menu to choose what the code shows.

Embed layout and code options

  • Full embed shows the event page: the video, the guestbook or chat, reminders and tickets. Just video shows only the player.
  • Autoplay starts the video automatically. Browsers may start it muted.
  • Reminder button lets guests sign up for reminders from your website.
  • Live only turns off replay and rewind in the embed.
  • Email links lists the pages where guests watched your embed; see Email links below.
  • Code type: Script (recommended) or Simple iframe (no script), see below.

Autoplay, Reminder button, Live only and the code type change only the code, so copy it again after changing them. Live only here doesn't change the event's own replay setting; for that, use Live only in Privacy Settings.

Script or simple iframe

Script (recommended) adds the player with a small EventLive script. When a viewer opens a link from an EventLive email (registration or reminder) and lands on your page, the player recognizes them, so ticket holders on a new phone or computer don't have to sign in again. The script also sizes the player to fit your page on phones and computers.

Simple iframe (no script) is for website builders that remove scripts from custom HTML. The player works the same, but it can't see the viewer's email link, so ticket holders on a new device may have to sign in again.

Wix and Google Sites run custom HTML in a separate frame, so there the script can't see the viewer's email link or your page's address either. Emails then send viewers to the event's evt.live page.

The Video Wall page in the Broadcaster Console offers the same two codes. With the script, the wall grows to fit all your events instead of scrolling inside a fixed box.

Guests who watch on your website get registration, reminder and ticket emails that link back to the page they watched on, so they return to your site already signed in. This happens automatically when the page is on the website in your event's Branding settings. If that website is a page on a shared site, such as facebook.com/yourpage, only pages under that address count.

A page anywhere else appears under Embed › Email links › Seen on. Choose Use for email links to approve it, or Ignore. EventLive only links to pages on your website or pages you approved, so nobody can put their own page into your guests' emails. Guests who watched elsewhere get the event's evt.live link.

Events that had an Embed webpage URL keep it for those other guests. It's listed under Email links, where you can remove it.

Apple Pay for ticket buyers

If your event sells tickets, buyers on your website can pay with Apple Pay in Safari 17 or later. For that:

  1. Use the script code, or a simple iframe code whose allow="…" attribute includes payment. Older codes don't, so copy the code again from Embed and replace it on your site.
  2. Nothing else: your site is registered for Apple Pay the first time a buyer opens checkout there.

In other browsers, buyers on your website can pay by card. Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link are also available on the event's own evt.live page.

Testing

Free tests cannot currently be embedded. Use your private test link to check your camera, audio and streaming connection. To test the website embed, use your paid event’s embed code and confirm the page layout and access requirements before the event.

Website restrictions

Some website builders restrict custom HTML or iframe embeds. If your plan or page type does not allow them, add a button linking to the EventLive event page instead. For full-page layouts, check how the guestbook and video fit on a phone as well as a computer.
