Stream to Your Own Website: the Embedded Player Is Here
Business workspaces can now embed their live channel on any website with a single iframe: adaptive quality, live rewind (DVR), domain restrictions, viewer counts, and rotatable player links.
What's New
Your channel no longer has to live only on other people's platforms. With the new Embed feature, any stream in a Business workspace gets a hosted player you can drop into any page:
<iframe
src="https://stream.playout.video/e/YOUR_PLAYER_ID"
style="width:100%;aspect-ratio:16/9;border:0"
allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"
allowfullscreen></iframe>
Copy the snippet from the stream's Embed tab, paste it into your site, done. The same channel keeps multistreaming to YouTube, Twitch, and everywhere else; the embed is one more place it lives, except this one is yours.
What the Player Does
Adaptive quality (ABR). The stream is transcoded into a ladder of qualities and the player picks the right one for each viewer's connection, switching as conditions change. Phone on hotel wifi, office fiber, both get the best stream they can carry. You can also switch to passthrough (single quality, source as-is) per embed.
Live rewind (DVR). Optionally let viewers scrub back 1 or 4 hours into the live stream, then jump back to the live edge.
Live viewer count. An optional "N watching" badge on the player, backed by real concurrent-viewer presence. Your dashboard shows the same number live.
Your page, your context. No related videos, no algorithm, no competitor's ad in front of your content.
Access Control Built In
The player link is yours to govern:
Public: anyone with the link can embed and watch
Domain-restricted: playback only works on domains you list, so the embed can't be lifted onto someone else's site
Signed: playback requires a token minted by your own server, for membership sites and paywalls (bring-your-own-player)
And if a link leaks, rotate it: one click generates a new player ID and the old one stops working everywhere, instantly. You can also disable the embed temporarily without deleting it.
Who This Is For
This is the feature for organizations whose audience should land on their site: churches with a "watch live" page, news outlets, conference and event sites, municipalities, sports clubs, and any brand tired of sending its traffic to youtube.com.

Availability
Website embedding is included in the Business plan ($119/mo billed annually) and Enterprise. On other plans, the Embed tab shows a preview of the feature and an upgrade path.
