The 10 greatest ways of embedding performances from last night's Billboard Music Awards

  • May 23, 2016
  • Popjustice

1. By deploying a 'Playwire embeddable player'

2. Using a YouTube video that's already been removed due to a copyright claim by Dik Hayd International, LLC.

3. By embedding a tweet with video embedded in it

4. By embedding a Vine that an internationally renowned publication have done off the telly

5. Embed with Madonna

6. Pasting in the code for an actually fairly decent quality YouTube video of the TV broadcast

7. Via a video someone made by pointing their phone at a television in Spain.

8. Using an Instagram post containing video done off the telly by someone who actually wrote one of the songs

@badgalriri killer per­form­ance of Love On The Brain at the Billboard Music Award last night!! 💜 #love­on­theb­rain I'm still pinching myself 👉👈 I co-wrote and produced this record two years ago and seeing it becoming a reality is blowing my mind… Brain…eh… 💣 @rocnation

9. As GIFs in an embedded Tumblr post

10. Via an embedded Brightcove player, which contains thirty seconds of a performance from the TV broadcast, using code from the actual Billboard website.

To be clear: that thirty-second clip off the telly is what the Billboard website are using as part of their coverage of the Billboard Music Awards.

Don't hate the embedded players, ladies and gentlemen. Hate the game.
