Elevating the Podcast Experience: Introducing Video Support to Pocket Casts
-
Dear Pocket Casts Team,
I recommend that Pocket Casts consider introducing YouTube-style video versions of podcast episodes. This would allow users to enjoy a more immersive podcast experience by incorporating visual elements into the content. By providing podcast creators with the option to upload video along with their audio, Pocket Casts could cater to the increasing demand for multimedia content consumption and offer a unique feature that sets the app apart from other podcast platforms.
This feature could open up exciting possibilities for podcast creators to enhance their storytelling, share visual demonstrations, and foster a deeper connection with their audience. By enabling video versions, Pocket Casts could attract a wider range of content, including educational tutorials, live interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses that complement the audio content. To make this feature successful, the app could implement user-friendly tools for creators to edit and upload videos directly, along with adjustable video quality settings for users to manage data usage. This move would not only meet the evolving preferences of listeners but also position Pocket Casts as a comprehensive platform for both audio and visual content.

@teknevra96 Thank you for your suggestions!
Just to let you know, Pocket Casts has already incorporated support for video podcasts. Here’s the link for your reference: https://support.pocketcasts.com/article/switching-video-to-audio/
As Pocket Casts doesn’t host the podcast itself, the podcast creator can edit the episode on the platform that hosts it.
We appreciate your valuable suggestions!
