Add a ๐Ÿž Jam audio room to your Wordpress website

Here is how you can add a Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces -like audio room to your Wordpress, for free, in just 5 minutes. First: start a room on Jam.

Install the iframe Plugin

You can find the iframe plugin in the Wordpress plugin directories. If your Wordpress website is hosted on Wordpress.com installing the iframe plugin only takes one click:

iframe Plugin on Wordpress.com

iframe plugin in the plugin directory on Wordpress.com

If you are hosting Wordpress on another hosting provider or on your own server you can find the iframe plugin in the plugin directory on Wordpress.org

Embed Jam Room

With the iframe plugin installed to your Wordpress (see above) you can now use an iframe embed code snippet to add a Jam room to a blog post or to a page in Wordpress.

iframe plugin embed code snippet for a Jam room on a Wordpress page

Here is an example for an iframe plugin embed code snippet:

[iframe src=โ€https://jam.systems/room-id" allow=โ€microphone *;โ€ width=โ€420" height=โ€600"]

note: allow=โ€microphone *;โ€ is needed so that the iframe can ask users for the permission to use the microphone. The syntax looks a bit unusual since there is an asterisk (*) and a semicolon (;) in there, they are not typos.

note: make sure your website is served via https and that the src attribute in your iframe embed code snippet also uses https as the protocol for the address of your Jam room. Otherwise embedding or microphone access might not work depending on the browsers and settings your users have.
