Embedding a live twitch stream

Is it possible to embed a live Twitch Stream in a post (preferable) or on a custom page? If so, can anyone help on the setup for it?

Thanks!

Hey MSG.

You should be able to embed it in to a custom page. You would need to select the HTML content option, and then use the twitch embed code.

As for placement within posts, Twitch is listed as one of the video options and does still appear to work (although the step-by-step instructions per embed domain appear to have been abandoned)

I've been embedding my Twitch streams on forum posts recently and it's come to my attention that they are automatically playing whenever someone loads the page, which is causing a lot of annoyance to forum users. Does anyone know how I can prevent this? I've tried the method on this thread but it didn't work, so I guess it might be outdated.

When I embed a Twitch stream (or other video) it doesn't give me any autoplay options and the code appears as follows:

The thread linked above includes some parameters from Twitch's API, including one for autoplay, which can be set to true or false. So I guess the question is whether there's a way to pass this parameter with the current video embed code. Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you Craig and Chris! I went with the Insert Video option as that was the quickest and easiest way - and also put it in posts where I wanted it. Thank you both again very much for your replies!
