We can’t wait to get Video Podcasts in the hands of every creator, but right now, we’re looking for something specific from established creators: video content that is easily backgroundable (meaning a fan could stop watching the video but still receive value from listening to it in audio-only form).
Think you’re a good fit? Let us know!
Once approved, click ‘New episode’ and ‘Quick upload’ to add a video file
