The CNE Audio Platform allows you to obtain the embed code for the different CNE Audio Player variations like the podcast and narrated players, and configure the settings for each podcast like the subscriptions on 3rd-party podcast platforms like Apple, Spotify and iHeart.

Access

Q&A

How do I obtain access to the CNE Audio Platform? If you need access or support you can do so through the Slack channel #audio-issues.

If we all share the same access - for now - would there be a problem with several people working on the platform at the same time? There is no problem. Multiple users can work at the same time.

Q&A

When I include the embed code in Copilot it does not show the correct skin. What's going on? The skin is automatically assigned depending on the brand of the podcast selected through Verso. This process is transparent to the user. We will only be able to see the skin applied in Verso or CNE Audio Platform not in Copilot.

FAQs

Will I have analytics in Google Analytics (GA)? No, not at the moment. Once GA4 is integrated into Snowplow we might be looking at visualizing audio data in GA4.

Do we have a player variation for narrated audio? Yes, please see here.

Does the CNE Audio Player provide stats like downloads and unique users? Yes, we have integrated the player with Snowplow and with Permutive, and we are developing a dashboard in Dash.

Do we have a player variation for audio clips like music? No, not yet, but we envisage developing one in the future.
