That works great, thank you.
But is there an automated way to do this. We would like the live stream to just sit on our Home Page and not require a daily update.
Topic summary
Goal: show a daily YouTube Live stream on a Shopify store homepage without needing to change the link each day.
Context: The live stream URL changes daily, breaking a static embed. A suggested workaround is to use the standard YouTube iframe embed and manually replace the VIDEO_ID in the src attribute each day:
- Example: <iframe id=“youtube-embed” … src=“https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID” …>
Current status: The manual update approach works, but the requester seeks an automated solution so the homepage always shows the current live feed without daily edits.
Notes:
- The HTML iframe embed code is central to the proposed solution.
- No automation method (e.g., fetching the current live video ID programmatically) has been provided yet in the thread.
Outcome: Partially addressed. Manual method confirmed; automation remains an open question with no resolution yet.
