1. Log in to your Wordpress site admin panel
2. Click “Plugins” in the sidebar (see figure below)
3. Click “Add New” to install a new plugin (see figure below)
4. In the Wordpress plugin search, enter keyword “Header” and search
5. Install the “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin (see figure below)
6. Click “Activate” once the plugin has been installed successfully
7. In the “Headers” text box of the newly installed plugin, insert your Tapcast SDK JavaScript code snippet. You can find your code snippet when you log into your Tapcast account.
8. Save the Tapcast SDK in the “Headers” section of the newly installed plugin.
9. Load any page on your Wordpress site that you’d like to make videos on.
10. On Tapcast, you should see the code snippet screen disappear, and the page you loaded in step #9 should be shown on Tapcast.
