@salreggea Welcome to the community.  Unfortunately, Square Online (especially on the free version) does not natively support streaming or embedding custom streaming players like HD Player, and many third-party app connections often show errors (like 404) because:

1. The app is built for Square POS, not Square Online.
2. Square Online does not allow full custom HTML/JavaScript embedding unless you’re on a paid plan with developer access.
 
There is a couple of workarounds.
 
Option 1: Use a Video Hosting Platform (like YouTube Live or Vimeo Live)
1. Stream via YouTube Live or Vimeo.
2. Copy the video URL or embed link.
3. Go to your Square Online dashboard → Pages → add a Video section.
4. Paste the URL — your video will display as a stream (if live) or replay.
 
This method works, but it’s not a true embedded player or stream control.
 
 
Option 2: If you upgrade to a paid Square Online plan:
1. You can add custom HTML in section blocks.
2. Use services like:
• Mixcloud Live
• Twitch
• StreamYard
• Vimeo Premium
3. Embed the iframe stream directly in your website.

Hi @salreggea, Welcome to the community – glad to have you here!

 

As @rtfulk mentioned, streaming isn’t currently supported on our platform. I recommend checking out some of the workarounds they suggested above.

 

If you need anything else, feel free to reach out!
