🌍 What is Universal Player?
The Universal Embed Player is a tool that allows you to easily embed all of your events on your website or anywhere in the digital world. Once you have embedded the player, every event you stream will automatically show up there unless you decide otherwise. This is a great way to keep your website visitors up-to-date on your latest events, and it also makes it easy for them to watch your events without having to leave your website.
For example, let’s say you’re a musician and you do live performances. You can use the Universal Player to put a little window on your website. Whenever you do a live concert, it will start showing up on your website.
In simple words, the Universal Player helps you showcase all your events in one place on your website, and it does it all by itself, making things really easy for you!
