Embedded Files
Your website is an important part of your brand, but more than that, it's the place users can easily find your information. In addition to basic information about your broadcast (e.g. purpose, host information, general contact) you want to include:
- Next broadcast (embed the actual Youtube stream)
- Schedule of broadcasts (using Google Calendar)
- Archive of broadcasts (Youtube playlist)
- Sign-up form (if having classrooms joining the live stream).
- Links to social media

When you start promoting your next broadcast, be sure to update your website with an embedded video of the upcoming stream. Visitors will be able to add schedule a reminder (Youtube reminder) as well as view the broadcast. Be sure to add any additional links to the page (show notes, contest forms, etc).
Broadcast schedule (Google Calendar)
Broadcast schedule (Google Calendar)
Like separate channel for your videos, you should create a separate Google Calendar for your schedule. Not only will this keep your personal information separate, but you'll be able to share it with your admins (who can help keep the schedule update) as well as have your visitors subscribe to it (i.e. add a read-only view to their calendars).
Calendar Tips
- Schedule all broadcasts as Busy and Public. Invite guests to this event so it will appear in their calendars.
- Schedule reminder activities (e.g. promotion) as Free and Private. These event will only show up in the calendar visible to you.
- Provide links to show notes and live streaming link for viewing.
