How do I let people listen on my website using PlayIt Live?

PlayIt Live is playout automation software that runs on your computer to broadcast your station. It cannot be embedded directly on your website. To enable listeners to tune in via your website, you need to stream your audio from PlayIt Live to a streaming server, then embed a web player on your site that connects to that server.

PlayIt Live has built-in support for streaming to Icecast and SHOUTcast servers. You can either host your own streaming server or use a hosting provider such as Live365, which provides streaming infrastructure and an embeddable web player.

To set up streaming:

  1. Create an account with a streaming provider or set up your own Icecast/SHOUTcast server
  2. Your streaming provider will give you the stream details you need to configure PlayIt Live
  3. In PlayIt Live, go to Tools > Internet Broadcast and enter your stream details
  4. Your streaming provider will also give you embed code for a web player
  5. Add this embed code to your website so visitors can listen

Once configured, PlayIt Live will send your audio to the streaming server, and listeners can tune in through the web player on your site.
