- Two layout modes: Choose between embedded and floating display types.
- Show or hide metadata: Author, title, cover image – display only what you want.
- Playlist control: Visitors can see upcoming episodes or hide the playlist entirely.
- Autoplay option: Start playback automatically (if the browser allows) or let listeners press play.
- Custom color themes: Pick a light or dark mode, or design your own color palette.

How to Add the Podcast Player to HTML
Below are two common ways to embed the podcast player HTML code. Pick the one that fits your layout best:
Method 1: Inline Embed
Best if you want the player inside a blog post, article page, or section.
- Select a layout: In the Elfsight editor, choose the inline style you prefer.
- Customize the player: Add your feed link, adjust colors, toggle metadata fields.
- Generate your HTML code: Click “Add to website” and copy the snippet.
- Embed in your website: Paste that snippet into your page where you want the player to appear.
- Save and preview: Publish your page and check how the player looks and functions live.
Method 2: Floating / Sticky Player
Ideal when you want a small player or button that follows visitors as they scroll.
- Pick the floating layout: In the editor, choose the sticky or floating variant.
- Adjust its appearance & behavior: Add your URL link, set icon, position, player controls and information.
- Generate the snippet: Copy the provided HTML code.
- Add to your website globally: Paste it into your global footer or before closing </body> tag so it appears on all pages.
- Test it live: Refresh and navigate through pages – the player should float and stay accessible.

Can I add the Podcast Player widget to a static HTML website?
Yes, Elfsight works on any static HTML website. Simply paste the installation code into your page source where you want your widget to appear.
Do I need special hosting to use the Podcast Player on HTML?
No special hosting plan is required. As long as your HTML website supports JavaScript, the widget will display and function properly.
How does the Podcast widget load episodes on an HTML website?
On an HTML website, Elfsight pulls episodes directly from the RSS feed you provide. It reads titles, cover images, authors, and playback data automatically, displaying them inside the embedded HTML widget.
Can I hide playlist elements or episode details?
Yes, Elfsight lets you disable the playlist, episode titles, author names, or cover images. This allows you to create a compact audio block that fits cleanly into your HTML layout.
Which RSS feeds are supported?
The widget works with RSS feeds from major podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, PodBean, RSS.com, and similar services that provide a valid public RSS link.
Does the podcast episode player support autoplay?
Yes, autoplay can be enabled in the widget settings. However, browser policies on your HTML website may require user interaction before playback begins.
How often does the podcast feed refresh in HTML?
Elfsight does not rely on caching, so new episodes appear on your HTML website as soon as they are published in the original feed.
Can I reorder podcast episodes manually?
Episode order follows the RSS source, typically showing the newest first. The HTML widget reflects the feed structure while allowing formatting adjustments.
Does the player preload audio files?
Audio loads progressively when playback starts. This approach keeps your HTML website fast while buffering only the selected episode.
How can I get an RSS feed from podcast platforms?
If a platform does not display an RSS link directly, you can use conversion services to generate a compatible RSS URL for the widget.
