WP-Ustream is a Wordpress plug-in that makes it more convenient to embed a Ustream.TV video feed into your blog. Here is a list of features of this plug-in:

Allows easy integration of Ustream live feeds into your posts or pages
Provides easy template tag for Ustream embed into your blog template
Provides option to embed your show’s chat feed into your page as well
Supports multiple live feeds with ability to determine which one is “live”
Ability to control width and height of both live feed and chat box

Here’s How It Works

When you install WP-Ustream on your Wordpress blog, you will enter the information for your Ustream show. This includes the name of your show as well as the USC identifier for your show as provided by Ustream. Then, if you have another show or would like to enter your friend’s UStream shows, you can enter them the same way.

You choose which of the shows you have entered is “active”. An active show means that it is that show which will appear anywhere you’ve entered the tag to embed the UStream feed. Once you have the tags set up on your blog, you can easily flip to another live feed by simply changing the active show in your Wordpress options.

To embed the feed into a post or page, you can either use the quick tag button in the WYSIWYG interface or enter an HTML comment that reads:

Wherever that comment is found, it will replace it with your embedded live feed. To insert your chat box, use the following:

Simple. Now, to insert your live feed into your template, use the template tag:

<?php wpustream_feed(width,height); ?>

Replace “width” and “height” with the dimensions you prefer. If none are provided, it will default to 416×340.

Feel free to give WP-Ustream a try. It was created to suit the needs of PCMech.com. It is down-and-dirty, but I was surprised to fine very little out there that worked this way. So, I worked it up myself and am releasing it publicly. Hope you enjoy!
