Hello Test Website. [http://4netmarketing.com/foruminsert.htm](http://4netmarketing.com/foruminsert.htm) Real Website [http://dayzdukes.com/](http://dayzdukes.com/) I am trying to host people on my twitch channel and have it show on my website. ( With their permission) I got the embed to work, but even though I am hosting that channel, my embed on my website still shows that I am offline. Is there a way I can use this so that I can host people on the embed without having to change the coding. What I would like to do. Go to my website, type in the embedded chat that is on my website “/host blablabla” Then show that streamer on my website through a host. Any ideas? Kind of like what they have here. [http://www.dayztv.com/live/](http://www.dayztv.com/live/) Let me know if you have any ideas. Thank You! ---

I am reading this > [@Embedding/Hosting](https://discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/embedding-hosting/3408): > > Is there a way to embed my stream to a page that also changes when I host someone else’s stream? Like, If I embed my stream on my website and then host a friends stream, is there a way for my streams embed to show the hosted stream? ---

Can anyone move this to the right section. I realized I have this in chat help and that is not where I wanted it to go. ---

I made a sample php code on [http://twitch.apiexampl.es](http://twitch.apiexampl.es) Specifically [http://twitch.apiexampl.es/test.php.txt](http://twitch.apiexampl.es/test.php.txt) In this code the array $channels = array("") can be a comma delimited list of streamers… Then it will find the most popular one of them and embed that stream. As a backup you can set it to play the most popular DayZ stream on twitch if none of your selected channels are available. I hope this helps you. ---
