Podpage automatically includes a media player on every episode page (and, depending on your header style, on your homepage). Here's how the default player is chosen and how to change it.
The default player
- Podpage uses its own built-in audio player on every site. It matches your site's colors and supports clickable timestamps, chapters, resume and lock-screen controls. See Using the built-in Podpage audio player.
- If you turn the Podpage player off, Podpage uses the media player from your podcast hosting service (Buzzsprout, Libsyn, and so on) whenever it can, and falls back to a standard HTML5 player that works in all mobile browsers when your host's player isn't available.
There's no built-in way to recolor or restyle your host's embedded player from Podpage — its appearance comes from your host, so check their player settings for styling options.
Switching to your host's player site-wide
Prefer your host's own player? Go to Settings → Media Player and turn off Use Podpage's Audio Player. You can turn it back on any time. The same page has a Show Download Button on Audio Player option for the Podpage player.
Using a different player for one episode
- In your dashboard, go to Episodes → All Episodes and click Edit on the episode.
- Scroll down to Custom Media Player Embed HTML Code.
- Paste the embed code for the player you want and click Save. That code is used for this episode only.
Tip: You can also choose whether episode pages show the audio player, the video player, or both — open the Episode Pages editor (under Pages → Episodes) and look for the Media Player section.
