define('YOUTUBE_LIVESTREAM_API_KEY', 'YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY_HERE'); - Set a message to display if the live stream is not active or there is a problem getting the stream.
- Add your shortcode where you want your stream to appear. Be sure to set the channel_id to your own in the shortcode. autoplay is optional and will default to false if not specified.
