This picture shows the older Classic Backup view. The setting names can still help you find the same choices in Studio Editor.
Links that may create a player
YouTube
Use a normal YouTube video, Shorts, watch, or share link.
SoundCloud
Use a public track or share link.
Spotify
Use a public track, album, or playlist link.
Other links
An unrecognized link may appear as a normal clickable link instead of a player.
Set up profile music
- Copy a public link from YouTube, Spotify, or SoundCloud.
- Paste it into Profile Song.
- Choose Standard unless you clearly need a smaller or larger player.
- Set Autoplay to No.
- Save the Private Draft or wait for Classic Backup to say Saved.
- Open the real Preview and check the player on desktop and phone.
- Publish the correct destination when using Studio.
Whole Home and Room design
Studio Private Draft
When music settings are available in Studio, changes stay private until you publish.
Classic Backup
Changes the public Whole Home as soon as saving finishes.
Room appearance
A Room can use different colors, cards, spacing, and effects around the player.
Can each Room use a different song?
The choices shown in Studio tell you whether the music itself can be different for that Room.
How autoplay really works
- Most browsers stop sound from starting until the visitor touches or clicks the page.
- Phones are especially strict.
- Autoplay = Yes is only a request. It cannot force a browser to play sound.
- Keep the Play button visible.
- Never place important information only inside audio.
- Autoplay = No is the most predictable and visitor-friendly choice.
Example public links
YouTube:
Spotify playlist:
SoundCloud track:
https://soundcloud.com/artistname/tracknameKeep the page fast and comfortable
- Use one main Profile Song player.
- Add extra players in Safe HTML Slots only when the Room still loads quickly.
- Use Minimal for a crowded layout and Full-Featured only when the player deserves more space.
- Check the player height and controls on a phone.
- Make sure effects do not cover the player.
- Add a title or short note so visitors know what they are about to play.
Common fixes
No player appears
Make sure the link is public and uses a normal link format from the music site.
Only a link appears
SSS does not recognize that link as a player, but the link can still work.

FAQs
Which display style should I use first?
Standard.
Why does autoplay fail even when it is on?
Browsers often require the visitor to press or tap first.
Can I add more than one player?
Profile Song is meant for one main player. Extra players can go in safe content areas, but too many can slow the page.
Why do I only see a link?
The link is valid, but SSS does not recognize it as a player link.
Can a Room use a different song?
Use the choices shown in Studio. They tell you whether that Room can have its own music value.
What is the fastest test?
Try a normal public YouTube link. That helps separate a bad link from a player problem.
Should autoplay be my default?
No. Let visitors choose when sound starts.
How do I remove the player?
Clear Profile Song, save, and check the Preview or public profile.
