Important platform-specific note: It's important to understand that each website platform and content management system has its own unique settings and specific instructions for embedding external widgets or code snippets into pages and posts. Depending on which platform you use to host your website or blog—whether that's WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or another platform—you may need to consult with your website developer for guidance on the embedding process specific to your platform. Alternatively, you can refer to the comprehensive FAQs section or knowledge base of your platform for detailed step-by-step instructions on how to embed external content or widgets on your site.
How to embed on WordPress
If you're using WordPress to host and manage your blog, here's a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial on exactly how to embed the Insight Timer widget directly into your blog posts:
- Open the blog post editor on your WordPress site. You can do this by clicking the Edit button on an existing post you want to update, or select Add New Post from your dashboard if you're creating a brand new post
- Click in the desired location within your post content where you want the player to appear, then click the plus icon ( +) to add a new block to your post
- From the available block options that appear on your screen, select Custom HTML from the list
- Paste your unique embed code (the code you previously copied from your Teacher Dashboard) directly into the HTML block that you just created
- Click Save Draft to save your changes to the post
- Click Preview to check and review how the embedded player looks when your post is published, and when you're satisfied with how it appears, click Publish to make the post live and visible to your audience

Does the embedded player play the full content?
No, the embedded player does not play the full content. The embedded player only allows visitors and community members to listen to a preview or sample excerpt of your content. This preview feature is intentionally designed to give interested listeners a genuine taste of your teaching style, approach, and content quality before they make the decision to download the app.
How can listeners access the full tracks?
Community members are able to listen to your complete and full-length content after they download the Insight Timer app to their personal device. The option to download the Insight Timer app is prominently featured directly on the embedded player itself, making it simple and straightforward for interested listeners to take the next step and access your entire library of teachings and practices on the platform.
Do plays from the embedded player count toward my income?
No, plays from the embedded player do not count toward your income as a teacher on Insight Timer. Only valid plays and listens made directly on the Insight Timer app itself count toward your income and earnings. Plays and listens through the embedded player on external websites and blogs don't generate income for you. However, they do drive app downloads and help you gain new followers, which benefit your long-term growth and success on the platform.
