Share and Embed Your Episodes
Every published episode gets a public listen page and an embeddable audio player. Share the link anywhere, or put the player itself on your website, a sponsor's site, a blog post: anywhere HTML is allowed. The player uses your show's player colour automatically, and you can change it any time.
Where this lives
Sharing and embedding are for episodes hosted on PodcasterPlus. If your show's audio is hosted elsewhere, the Share & embed card doesn't appear, because there's no PodcasterPlus media to embed.
Copy your episode link
- Open the episode in the episode editor and go to the Publish tab. Once the episode is published, the Share & embed card appears.
- Under Episode link, click the copy button.
The link looks like this and is safe to share anywhere (social posts, newsletters, show notes):
https://listen.podcasterplus.com/your-show/e/your-episodeIt opens your episode's public listen page, where anyone can play the episode without an app or account.
Paste it straight into WordPress
Listen links support oEmbed. Paste one into a WordPress embed block (and other platforms that support embed discovery) and it turns into a player automatically, no embed code needed.
Embed the player for one episode
Below the episode link, the same Share & embed card builds the embed code for you:
- Pick a Theme: Auto (match visitor), Light, or Dark. Auto follows each visitor's own light/dark preference.
- Pick a Size: Standard card (artwork, title, and full controls) or Compact bar (a slim one-line player).
- Pick a Color if this embed should differ from your show's player colour; see Choose your player color below. Use show default puts it back.
- Toggle Waveform off if you'd rather have a plain progress bar than the waveform scrubber.
- Check the Preview: it's your real episode in the real player, exactly as visitors will see it.
- Copy the code from the Embed code tab and paste it into your website's HTML.
If your website builder strips scripts (hosted WordPress plans, Notion, and similar), switch to the iframe fallback tab and use that code instead; it's the same player in an iframe.
Embed code references your episode's permanent ID, not its title or slug, so you can rename the episode later and every embed keeps working.
Embed your whole show
Want a player that always plays your newest episode, perfect for a website homepage?
- Go to Settings → Distribution and find the Embed player card.
- Choose your theme and size, check the preview, and copy the code.
This embed updates itself: each time you publish, the player on your site picks up the new episode automatically. You can grab this code even before your first episode is published; it starts working the moment you publish.
Choose your player color
The player's accent (the play button, waveform, and scrubber) is the PodcasterPlus purple by default. To set your own:
- Go to Settings → Distribution → Embed player.
- Use the Color control: pick a colour with the swatch or type a hex value like
#0E8F7E. On this page the control sets your show-wide player colour. - The preview updates immediately, and the change applies to every player for your show, embeds already on other websites included. Reset to default brings back the purple.
Two things to know:
- The same Color control on an episode's Share & embed card does something different: it pins that one embed to its own colour in the embed code, ignoring the show-wide setting. Re-copy the episode's code with Use show default selected if you want it to follow along again.
- Whatever colour you pick, the player automatically adjusts it just enough to stay readable against the light and dark themes, and the Powered by PodcasterPlus wordmark keeps its own colours.
Remove "Powered by PodcasterPlus"
Embedded players show a small Powered by PodcasterPlus footer by default; it tells listeners where the player comes from and links back to us.
On Creator plans and up, you can remove it:
- Go to Settings → Distribution → Embed player.
- Turn on Hide "Powered by PodcasterPlus".
The change applies to every embedded player for the show, episode embeds and the whole-show embed alike, including embeds already pasted on other sites. No need to re-copy any code.
Plan requirement
The toggle needs the branding-removal feature from the Creator plan or above. On the Free plan the switch is locked, and the link beneath it opens an upgrade prompt. If you later downgrade, the footer returns automatically.
See embedded plays in your analytics
Plays from embedded players are counted in your download numbers automatically, to the same industry-aligned rules as every other download. Two breakdowns in the Audience section of your Analytics show you where they come from:
- Sources: how your episodes were played: embedded players versus your listen pages versus podcast apps fetching from your RSS feed.
- Embedded on: the websites your player is embedded on, so you can see which placements actually drive plays. This list appears once you have embedded plays.
Analytics update hourly, so give a new embed about an hour before expecting its first plays to appear.
What's next?
- Fine-tune what appears on your listen page in Publishing.
- Developers on your team can go deeper (attributes, iframe URLs, and the public API) in the embedded player developer reference.
