Got Embed? Make Sure to Check/Update Your Site’s Twitch Embed URL

For over a year, we’ve been building a new in-house video system that will allow us to scale to the rapid growth of our platform. Part of this process involves updating the current video player. The update to the video player affects anyone out there that embeds the Twitch player on your websites.

If you embed Twitch content on your site, make sure to check your embed code. If you use:

http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf

change to:

You’ll notice this is basically a change from Justin.tv to Twitch.tv. (The latter player is already live!) With this one simple change, your embed experience will be seamless when the new player goes live and the old player is decommissioned.

We’ll have more to tell you very soon, so thanks for tuning in and utilizing all Twitch has to offer!
