How to publish a video or podcast

Walkthrough for publishing long-form video or an audio podcast episode. Use when someone asks how to upload a video, post an episode, start a podcast, or share video storytelling.

  1. 1

    Open the long-form / podcast form Open

  2. 2

    Upload your video or audio file and give it a title and description

  3. 3

    Add cover art — it's what readers see in the feed

  4. 4

    Publish; processing takes a few minutes before it goes live

Video and audio are first-class here — a video story, a narrated piece, a podcast episode all publish through the long-form form.

Upload your file, title and describe it, and add cover art (for audio it's required — it's the face your episode wears in the feed). After you publish, the file processes for a few minutes before it's live for readers to watch or listen.

Your episodes appear on your feed like any other content, and everything else works the same: readers can follow you, subscribe to you, and support you. You don't have to be a journalist — storytelling in video and audio is exactly what this form is for.
