Tracy Hazzard walks through YouTube's new podcast feature, available in the US. You need full-length video files organized in a single playlist to enable it and get syndicated to YouTube Music. MP3-only uploads won't work.

Hey podcasters, let's talk about YouTube podcast. It is in the US only right now as I'm recording this. But you have an ability to put your podcast onto YouTube. Now here's the catch. You cannot do that with MP3s only. You must convert it to a video. Now for most of our podcasters at Poditize, we have probably well over 60% who produce videos already. So this is not a heavy lift for you. You probably already have a playlist create for your podcast that you've been utilizing. And now YouTube has a feature where you can convert that playlist to a podcast. What's going to happen and the reason that this is really important and beneficial to you to consider participating in this program with YouTube is because it's going to give you discovery within the podcast area and automatically syndicate you to YouTube Music so it can be listened to the video as an audio only version. Which for many of you that's exactly how your podcast is created anyway. So it works as well. There is a YouTube.com podcasts where it will be featured in as well. So they're promising advanced discovery badges and other special treatment and other things that might be coming. Now here's the key. No MP3s, must be a video file, only full length episodes. And if you've got multi seasons, you put it into one playlist. So you actually only have one podcast playlist. And then I've got another resource library video which is going to be linked to this, so you can go check that out. And all you have to do is create a playlist from all of your videos and then convert it to a podcast. Or if you haven't created a playlist yet, start it as a podcast and you can do that as well. So there'll be another video to follow if you want to learn exactly how to do it. If you're already a poditized client, we've already done it for you. You don't have to worry. But here's the why.
