Share and Embed your Channel

Once your Channel has been created, populated, and customised, you can share it with your audience in two ways: as a direct link that opens the Channel as a standalone webpage, or as an embed that renders the Channel within your existing website, intranet, or LMS.

To access the share options, click into a Channel from the  Channels page and click the  Share Share button in the top right of the dashboard.

Use this option when you want to send viewers directly to your Channel as a standalone page — via email, a messaging app, or a link on your intranet.

  1. Click the  Share Share button.
  2. Click Copy Link to copy the Channel URL to your clipboard.
  3. Paste it wherever you need.

Channel URL​

By default your Channel is available at a https://channel.viostream.com/ address. If you would like to use a custom domain (e.g. https://video.yourcompany.com), please reach out to Customer Success via Live Chat.

Access Control​

If your Channel has Viewer Sign-In enabled, viewers who follow the link will be prompted to sign in before they can access the content — anyone without an invitation or registration will be turned away. See Audience Controls for details on how to configure access.

If your Channel is public (the default), anyone with the link can access it without signing in.

Embed into a Website​

Use this option when you want your Channel to appear inline within an existing webpage — such as your company intranet, website, or LMS.

  1. Click the  Share Share button.
  2. Click the Embed tab in the sharing panel.
  3. Click Copy Embed Code.
  4. Paste the script tag into the <body> of your target webpage.
tip

When you embed a Channel, the header and footer are automatically removed to ensure a seamless viewing experience within your page.

Sizing and Responsiveness​

The embed renders as a full-width responsive block by default, adapting to the width of its container element. To control the width, wrap the embed code in a container div:

<div style="max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto;">
  <!-- paste embed code here -->
</div>

Supported Platforms​

The Channel embed works on any platform that allows custom HTML or script tags. For platform-specific guides see our Embedding Media section.
