How to add video to your episodes at Spotify

Spotify now allows podcasters who host their podcasts on third-party platforms, including RSS.com, to add video to their episodes. This means you can enhance your podcast by including video content without needing to move your hosting to Spotify.

First, make sure you check out how to get access to Spotify for Podcasters.

Now, here’s how to do it:

1. Log into Spotify for Podcasters: Use your Spotify account credentials to log into Spotify for Podcasters.
2. Select Your Podcast: If you have multiple podcasts, locate the one you want to add a video to by finding it in the sidebar or selecting “All podcasts.”
3. Choose the Episode: Find the episode you want to change to a video episode.
4. Click the three dots (⋮) next to that episode.
5. Click on "Upload video" and choose the video file from your device.
6. Publish Your Video Episode: Once you’re satisfied with the preview, click "Publish" and your video episode will now be available to your fans on the Spotify apps and web player.

Why This Update Matters

Adding video to your podcast can provide a richer experience for your audience and help you stand out in a crowded podcasting landscape.

Previously, if your podcast wasn’t hosted on Spotify, you couldn’t add video to your episodes without creating a separate podcast on Spotify for Podcasters. Now, you can seamlessly integrate video content into your existing podcast, even if it’s hosted with a third-party service like RSS.com.
