Embed On Your Website
To embed the Octopod Player on your website, you'll need to include the library in your HTML. The player is available for free at our CDN.
<script src="https://cdn.octopod.dev/player/0.3.0/octopod-player.js"></script>
Wherever you want to embed the Octopod Player, simply use the octopod-player tag:
<octopod-player
src="my-podcast-file.mp3"
></octopod-player>
That's all! In fact, if you've used the <audio> or <video> elements
before, you already know how to manipulate the player! But if you're new to media playback on the web, read more
about it in our documentation.
