Great job could not have been done any better.
Hi. Sorry for the late comment. Your video was very helpful. I’m having only one problem. WordPress seems to be ignoring the width and height parameters in the Watershed (Ustream) viewer code which you were able to set in your video. The result is that I’m displaying a full page image which is lost a great deal of its original, smaller image resolution. Any suggestions? I want to make my viewer smaller. Thanks. – Les
Thank you so much for this very well done tutorial. It is going to make my broadcast live and and my members’ life much easier.
Thanks again.

I watched this:

When i strip in the embed code and save the page, Wordpress strips out all the code. How do I get it to stop doing that? We’re running Wordpress on our own servers.

This took me a few minutes to figure out but once I put the code in the place it worked great! Thanks. I left out the chat box due to not knowing how to find that on pre-recorded video. It still worked perfect I just left out

Thanks!
Anyway to remove the play button in the video itself? When clicked it takes viewer to ustream and I would prefer they stay on current page sometimes?
