Adding a video to your episode on Spotify

Want to upload a podcast with images? If you host your podcast with Springcast, you can add video to your episodes in Spotify in addition to audio. Here's how to add a video to an episode.

Before you start: although the audio of your podcast is stored on servers in the Netherlands, we cannot guarantee this for the videos you upload to Spotify. This is because that part is provided by Spotify. We do not host the videos.

Also important: when you add a video to your episode, the original audio file on Spotify is overwritten. This means that the audio from the video is used. Therefore, make sure the audio of the video file exactly matches the original audio file.

The videos will only show up on Spotify (Spotify app and web player) and not elsewhere. The original audio file (uploaded on Springcast) will remain listenable on all channels where you have signed up the podcast, such as Apple Podcasts.

 

Adding video to your episode on Spotify

If your podcast can already be listened to on Spotify and you have therefore submitted Springcast's RSS feed to Spotify, you can add videos. Is your podcast not listed yet? Then do so first.
 
Then follow these steps:
 

1. Log in to Spotify for Podcasters
2. Click on your show in the left-hand bar
3. Click on 'Episodes' in the same bar
4. Scroll to the desired episode and click on the three dots next to 'Publish date'

Delete video and restore audio

Would you rather delete the video anyway? Then click on an episode in the list and go to 'details'. Then you can click on 'Restore to audio'. This will restore the original audio file.
