Powered by the Secret Link, the Secret Widget lets you embed private sounds to any website. It's perfect for bands or labels to service an embed player for an exclusive preview session.

Before you start

Make sure that your sound is set to private and that widget sharing is enabled. You can access and change these settings by clicking the pen icon above the waveform.

Overview

Make sure you're logged in to SoundCloud, and go to the sound or set page on SoundCloud and click the 'Share' button. There you'll see an exclusive embed code that only you have access to.

You can use that embed code like a normal widget, but your sounds will not be available anywhere else. Of course, if you have a premium account, you can also choose to embed an Artwork or Minimal player.

Check out how the Secret Widget looks on The Guardian's Music Blog, giving an exclusive look at a new record.

You can even combine the Secret Widget with a password protected page on your own website, for super exclusive promos!
