  I have a livestream that I want to embed on my wordpress blog but I can’t quite figure out why it won’t work.
  Twitch.tv gives me
  <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="chat_embed" src="http://twitch.tv/chat/embed?channel=covalent&popout_chat=true" height="301" width="221"></iframe>
  to embed my stream but when I do this, everything before </iframe> is shown on the page. I’m not good with coding so I require some help.

  tl;dr
  Is is possible to embed Twitch.tv livestreams on WordPress?

  Thanks!

  We cam embed these:
  Blip.tv
  DailyMotion
  Flickr Video
  Google Video
  LiveVideo
  TED Talks
  Viddler
  Videolog
  Vimeo
  Vodpod
  YouTube

  The Vodpod Videos Widget is a great way to display image-based links to your favorite videos from around the web in your sidebar. It shows up to 3 of the videos you’ve most recently added to Vodpod.

  Oh I didn’t see the restricted codes section. Thanks! That makes sense! I’m going to try VodPod now :)

  I wish I could edit my previous post but it seems I cannot. A question popped into my head about VodPod. Will my viewers be able to watch my stream through WordPress while I am live or will it only be past recordings?

  I’m sorry but I don’t know. Perhaps another Volunteer or Staff can answer that for you.
