Podbean Now Supports Video on Apple Podcasts

As video podcasting continues its meteoric rise, the technical demands for high-quality playback have never been higher. Today, we are thrilled to announce a major upgrade for our creators: Podbean now fully supports video on Apple Podcasts.

For Podbean users, this means your video podcast content will now be delivered with the same professional-grade technology used by major film and TV platforms for watching. By leveraging this integration, you can reach your audience where they already love to engage with your show, providing a richer, more visual experience.

The Benefits of Video on Apple Podcasts

The introduction of video on Apple Podcasts brings powerful advantages to both creators and their listeners.

For Your Audience

For audiences, it enables seamless switching between audio and video, adaptive streaming for smooth playback. This ensures that your fans can watch your content without interruption, regardless of their internet connection or device.

For Creators

We understand that control and revenue are top priorities. With this new support, creators maintain complete ownership of their content and monetization, and enjoy new advertising opportunities, including dynamic interstitials for real-time ad insertion. This means you can scale your show and increase your revenue while keeping full creative and financial authority over your brand.

How to Enable Video on Apple Podcasts

We’ve designed the integration to be seamless. You don’t need to be a developer to get world-class video podcast delivery; you just need your Apple Podcasts API Key.

  1. Generate Your Key: Log into your Apple Podcasts Connect account to retrieve your API Key.
  2. Upload to Podbean: Navigate to your Podbean Dashboard and input your key in the Apple Podcasts settings.
  3. Publish as Normal: Once the key is set, continue your workflow. Podbean handles the technical “transmuxing” into HLS segments automatically.
