We are always looking for ways to enable you to share your Qiks easily – anywhere. With that in mind, back in March we first introduced the ability to embed Qik videos easily to WordPress blogs, including your WordPress.com blog, using the [qik] shortcode. Now, thanks to WordPress and their 2.9 release - it has become even easier to embed your Qik videos in your self-hosted  or WordPress.com blogs.

With this new 2.9 release, just paste your Qik video URL into a new line, make sure it is not hyperlinked and that’s it. WordPress will automatically convert that into a embedded video when you view the post.

Update: You can even embed your live channel just by pasting your Qik profile URL.

For example:

This is a sample post to show how to embed Qik videos

http://qik.com/video/3423356

...and embed your live channel by using your profile URL



Now, that's simple  

Don’t want to put the URL in a new line? No worries, just wrap the URL in the shortcode to get the same result.

As usual we love to hear from you. So, let us know your thoughts and comments by emailing support@qik.com.
