HELP · HOW TO

Build it. Publish it. Share it.

A quick guide for artists, streamers, and creators to build and manage a Smart Link.

Create your Smart Link

Add a cover image, title, artist or creator name, and an optional short bio.

Add your destinations

Add music, streams, community, social, and custom links, including Spotify, Twitch, Kick, and Discord. Drag to reorder; on mobile, press and hold the drag handle. Turn links on or off anytime.

Preview before publishing

The Builder shows a mobile-style preview. Open Link displays your published link in a layout that adapts to the visitor's screen, on mobile or desktop.

Save & Publish

If you're not signed in, use the 6-digit email code to save and publish. Codes expire after 10 minutes. For security, wait at least 60 seconds before requesting another.

Manage from My Links

Edit, preview, open, copy, or view analytics for every Smart Link from your dashboard.

Read your analytics

My Play Link counts outbound destination clicks. A click to Spotify, Apple Music, or another service is not reported as a stream or play.

MY PLAY LINK PRO

Professional tools when you need them.

Pro adds one custom subdomain, one Meta Pixel connection, Verification Badge, and Advanced Analytics while keeping the same clean Smart Link experience.

PRO · CUSTOM SUBDOMAIN

How to connect your subdomain

Keep your domain with your current provider. You choose the subdomain name; My Play Link gives you the CNAME destination. The examples below are fictional, not your account settings.

Choose a subdomainExample: stream.artistname.com, if you own artistname.com. You choose "stream" (or another prefix); do not connect only the root domain.

Account → Settings → ConnectEnter the FULL chosen subdomain (such as stream.artistname.com) and click Connect first. This registers the exact address you want.

Open your DNS providerFind DNS / Manage DNS / Records → Add record. Name / Host is the chosen prefix (for example, stream); Target / Points to is the service address My Play Link supplies, never your own subdomain:

TYPECNAMENAME / HOSTstream (fictional example)TARGETcustomers.myplaylink.comTTLAuto / Default

For an actual connection, copy the Name / Host and Target displayed in Account → Settings for YOUR connected domain. They must match your DNS zone; some providers require the full hostname rather than just the prefix. The Target is a My Play Link destination, not stream.artistname.com.

Save DNS and verifyReturn to Account → Settings and press Check Status. Both DNS and HTTPS/SSL must become active. Changes can take from minutes to 24–48 hours.

Test and shareWhen active, open Account → My Links, copy your custom-domain URL and test it in a private tab. The original myplaylink.com URL stays available.

Do not change your nameservers, root domain or email/MX records. If your chosen subdomain already has an A, AAAA or CNAME record, review that record before replacing it. Some providers require the full hostname rather than the short label.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Quick answers.

Do I need an account to start?

No. You can start building without signing up. My Play Link asks you to verify your email when you are ready to save and publish.

Is My Play Link only for musicians?

No. It's for artists, streamers, gamers, and other creators. Share music platforms, Twitch or Kick streams, Discord communities, social profiles, tickets, merch, and other custom destinations in one place.

Can I reorder or hide links from my phone?

Yes. In Create or Edit, press and hold the drag handle (⋮⋮) on a destination, then move it up or down. Use the ON/OFF control to hide a destination without deleting it, and tap Save Changes to keep your edits.

Why does Preview look like a phone on my computer?

The Builder and My Links Preview show the mobile presentation. Open Link opens the published Smart Link, which automatically uses the appropriate layout for desktop or mobile screens.

I didn't receive my verification code. What should I do?

Check your email address and spam folder. Allow a little time for delivery. You can request a new code after at least 60 seconds; each code expires after 10 minutes, and additional sending limits protect your account.

What does My Play Link analytics count?

Analytics count outbound clicks from your Smart Link to destinations such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, tickets, merch, and other links. My Play Link does not claim that an outbound click became a stream or play.

What is included with Pro?

Pro includes one custom subdomain connection, one Meta Pixel connection, Verification Badge, Advanced Analytics, and discreet Powered by My Play Link branding.

Do I buy my domain from My Play Link?

No. You keep ownership of your domain and manage it with your current domain or DNS provider. My Play Link only connects one subdomain that you already own.

How do I connect my Pro subdomain with a CNAME?

Open Account → Settings → Custom Subdomain and click the five-step setup guide. Connect your full subdomain, add a CNAME record at your DNS provider using the displayed NAME and TARGET, save it, then return to Check Status. View the full illustrated setup checklist above.

My domain is pending. What should I check?

Confirm that the CNAME host and target exactly match what is shown under Account → Settings. Check for a conflicting record at that same subdomain. DNS and SSL activation can take time. Do not change your primary website's root DNS records just to connect My Play Link.

What does the Pro custom subdomain do?

It lets your existing Smart Links open on a subdomain you own, such as music.artist.com, while the original myplaylink.com version stays available.

What happens to my custom subdomain if I cancel Pro?

If the DNS record still points to My Play Link, requests are redirected to the matching free myplaylink.com Smart Link. Your original My Play Link URL stays active unless you delete the link.

What if I subscribe to Pro again later?

Your Pro settings remain with your account. If your custom-domain DNS still points correctly, it can be used again after Pro access is restored.

What if I remove the DNS record or let my domain expire?

That custom-domain address will stop reaching My Play Link because the domain no longer points to the service. Your original myplaylink.com Smart Link remains available unless you delete it.

What does the Meta Pixel integration track?

When enabled by a Pro user, My Play Link can send a PageView plus destination-click events such as SpotifyClick, AppleMusicClick, YouTubeClick, TicketClick, and MerchClick to that user's Pixel.

How do I manage or cancel my Pro subscription?

Open Account → Manage billing. Stripe's secure Customer Portal lets you update your payment method, view invoice history, and cancel your subscription.

How do I delete a Smart Link?

Open the link in Edit mode and use the Danger Zone at the bottom. Deleting a Smart Link removes that link and its stored cover from My Play Link.
