Using the Share Dialog

1. Open Share

   Use the visible Share action on the page, or open the content’s More menu and choose Share.

2. Copy the direct link

   The dialog shows the canonical link for that item. Click Copy to place it on your clipboard.

3. Use native share when available

   On supported browsers and devices, click Share via… to hand the link off to your device’s native share sheet.

Native share support depends on the browser and device. If it is not available, the copy-link flow still works.

The share dialog shows a copy link field and a native share button. Social platform buttons (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr) are not part of the share dialog — they appear only on the upload success screen in Backstage.

Embedding Players

Embed functionality is available for tracks and albums only. Producer pages and playlists can be shared via link but cannot be embedded.

1. Open the Share dialog

   Click Share on any track or album page.

2. Switch to the Embed tab

   Click the Embed tab in the share dialog.

3. Preview the embed

   On desktop, the dialog shows a live preview of the embedded player.

4. Copy the code

   Copy the generated <iframe> code and paste it into your site’s HTML.

Content Type	Default Height	Width
Track	174 px	100% (responsive)
Album	384 px	100% (responsive)

The iframe uses a responsive width, so it adjusts to the container on your site.

Where Embeds Work

Embeds work in any context that accepts raw iframe HTML:

• Custom websites and landing pages
• Blog posts with HTML blocks
• Portfolio pages

Browser notes:

• Some browsers require user interaction before playback starts (autoplay policy).
• Your site must allow external iframes and the embed origin in its Content Security Policy.
• HTTPS pages generally provide the best embed compatibility.

Sharing vs. Reposting

Feature	Share	Repost
Who sees it	Anyone with the link	Visitors to your BeatPass profile
Where it appears	External destinations	Your Reposts tab
Requires account	No	Yes
Use case	Promote content externally	Make a public recommendation inside BeatPass

Use Share to promote content outside BeatPass. Use Repost to recommend content within the BeatPass community.

Troubleshooting

Embed isn't displaying

Check these common issues:

• The iframe code was not pasted correctly.
• Your site blocks external iframes.
• Your site’s Content Security Policy does not allow the embed origin.

Audio isn't playing in the embed

Browser autoplay rules may require the listener to press play manually. Also confirm the track or album is still available.

The share sheet didn't open on my device

Your browser or device may not support the native share API. Use Copy instead.
