Connect your podcast to YouTube (Beta)

With our YouTube connector you can connect a YouTube Channel and Playlist to a Podspace Podcast. When the Podcast is linked, your new video episodes will automatically be published on YouTube, and stats imported so you can analyze performance right in Podspace.

Getting started

  1. Go to a Podcast in your Space and navigate to Distribution and connect YouTube. You’ll need to log in to the YouTube account owning the Channel of your podcast and allow access for Podspace to publish content and fetch analytics data. Once your Channel is linked, select the specific podcast Playlist this Podcast should post videos to.

    Please note that to be able to create and upload videos to a podcast Playlist, you’ll need to have your phone number verified for your YouTube Channel. Read more about YouTube’s verification layers here.

  2. When creating a new episode you just need to upload a mp4 video file, Podspace will automatically extract audio from the video file to be used for audio only platforms.

  3. Add a thumbnail image for your video if you want.

  4. Publish the episode, and the video will appear in the YouTube Playlist once it's been processed.

In the episode list, you’ll see an indication weather the episode contain audio, video or both. You’ll also be able to see some basic YouTube and audio stats side by side in the "Episode performance" dashboard. Read more about our video metrics here.
