Restricted Editors and Group Editors can now embed their podcasts on the website. You can add a podcast to your article and other components.


Note: This component can only support individual episode embeds, not playlist embeds. If you need to embed a playlist, you will need to submit a ticket.


Quick Start Overview

  1. Add the LibSyn Embed component to your content.
  2. Add to the content
    1. Episode Title - Enter the name of your episode.
      It is not visible but is required for iframe accessibility. 
    2. Episode ID - To find the episode ID, visit this version of the podcast home page, locate the desired episode, and then click on the embed icon (</>). Look for the numbers after /id/; for example, “37689400” in the embed code below:

      <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/37689400/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/fb5600/" height="90" width="100%" scrolling="no"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

    3. Episode Background color - Heritage Blue will be used if no color is selected..
    4. Caption: Optionally add a caption to include links and details about the episode.  
  3. Save, review, and publish your content as normal.


Color Consideration
When adding a background color, ensure the embed and the Component background work together. The colors should complement each other but be noticeably different. 

Additional Notes
