Create a video podcast on Spotify
Spotify does not directly support video episodes that are hosted anywhere besides Spotify for Podcasters. To work around this limitation, we recommend creating a video podcast hosted directly on Spotify for Podcasters.
If you have an audio podcast that is already distributing to Spotify, you can replace audio files for video files directly on Spotify for Podcasters
- From Spotify for Podcasters, click your account avatar → Add or Claim your Podcast, then Start one now:
Important: This podcast will have an Anchor/Spotify RSS feed and isn't connected to your podcast hosted on Castos. For new video episodes to be available on Spotify, you will need to re-create the episode on their platform.
