Media Guide: Profile Song embeds (without jump-scares)
Media is your soundtrack control panel. Paste one embeddable link, pick a display style,
and decide whether it should try to autoplay.
📸 What you’ll see in Media
This matches the Media section on the Settings screen.
🎛 Media settings (based on your screen)
- Profile Song — paste an embeddable URL (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, etc.).
- Profile Music Display Style — controls how the player looks (size/layout). Example shown: Standard.
- Profile Music Autoplay — tries to play automatically (but many browsers block autoplay).
Even if you set Autoplay = Yes, many browsers (especially mobile) require a tap first.
Think “attempt autoplay,” not “force autoplay.”
🎵 Profile Song (the URL that becomes the player)
Paste one link. If that platform supports embedding and the content is public, SSS will auto-embed it.
If the track is private, restricted, or embedding is disabled, it won’t show.
Use the platform’s official Share link and include https://.
(SSS may auto-add https, but it’s better to paste it correctly.)
Examples (copy/paste):
YouTube: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M
SoundCloud track: https://soundcloud.com/artistname/trackname📐 Display Style
This controls the player’s presentation. Standard is the safest and most compatible choice.
If your profile is minimal, keep it compact. If your profile is music-forward, choose the most visible option available.
➕ Want more than one embed?
Media is designed for one primary player. If you want multiple embeds (song + playlist + extra links),
use Advanced → Slot A/B/C HTML.
Too many embeds can slow pages down. One main player here + extras in Slots is the best balance.
🛠 Troubleshooting (fast fixes)
- Player not showing: confirm the URL starts with https:// and is a public share link.
- Wrong link format: recopy the platform’s “Share” link (YouTube short link, Spotify open link, etc.).
- Autoplay doesn’t work: assume the browser blocked it (common on mobile). Try tapping the page/player once.
- Still stuck: test with a known-good public YouTube link to confirm embedding works.
Paste a public YouTube link, save, refresh once. If that works, your embed system is fine — the original link likely wasn’t embeddable.
