Does Transistor support video podcasts?

Transistor is the home for your audio podcast: we host your audio files, generate your RSS feed, and distribute the audio version of your podcast to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, etc.

Here's what we suggest: Publish an audio and video podcast at the same time.

Currently, our recommendation for doing an audio and video podcast at the same time is to:

Use Transistor for the audio version of the show (and submit audio to Spotify, Apple, etc)
Upload the video version to YouTube and add it to a Podcast Playlist
Upload the video version to Spotify

Will Transistor ever add video hosting in future?

If you're curious about hosting video files in your podcast's RSS feed, we are always considering how video podcasts are evolving and it may be something we work on in future.

However as a small team, adding video hosting would be a significant change to our current product and pricing model. Specifically around encoding complexities, increased infrastructure requirements and content moderation.

At the moment our efforts are on integrating better with YouTube. As they already host video extremely well for free and are developing their podcasting side too.

We always welcome feedback on future features you'd like to see in Transistor. You can reach out to use on Live Chat and email at support@transistor.fm
