## Description

SpareMin is a voice conversation platform.

No more giving out your phone or email to strangers and endless emails coordinating
awkward calls. Now only connect when you have spare time and have calls that you
can publish on social media. We are bringing the intimacy and authenticity of a 
1:1 phone call to the power of broadcast in today’s social networks.

This plugin allows you to easily promote your sparemin handle and calls on your 
site. You can place the shortcode or widget wherever you feel most appropriate. 
You can simply add the recording url to any post/page and it will automatically 
create the SpareMin player object for you (just like YouTube does for videos). You
can also the add the widget for calling you anywhere you would like – the about,
contact, and sidebars are all good locations for it.

## Installation

 * Install and activate SpareMin like any other plugin.
 * For adding the SpareMin contact me box, use the [sparemin] shortcode, or widget.
 * For adding recordings to your posts, just add the URL and it will automatically
   create the player.

## FAQ

  How do I use the shortcode?

The SpareMin shortcode takes four parameters:
 float: left, right or none. id: your
SpareMin handle message: your message style: light or dark

An example of using the shortcode: [sparemin float=”left” id=”SpareMinCallBot” message
=”Call me” style=”light”]

  How do I add a recording to my site?

Just add the full URL. An example would be adding the link “https://www.sparemin.
com/myrecording/2613”.
 It should autopopulate with the player.
