I listen to many podcasts, audio uploads on UA-cam with a still picture. And even when i listen to a podcast on UA-cam with a video, i dont even look at the screen, there is no need. So i think personally as a viewer, i equally listen to both videos with a still picture or actual video. And all my friends do the same. So in my opinion, i say work with what you have and if your intention is powerful behind your work, then it will work out for you.
I disagree, you can use Libsyn and upload a still image. Libsyn sends the rss feed everywhere, including youtube. If the podcast is your main goal, youtube will provide an easy way for discovery and a still image would not deter a podcast consumer, but it may cause a person that wants to watch a video, but they were never your intended audience.
When i upload my podcasts on yt i put in small segment jokes, an animated intro and just a thumbnail pic of the show ...less views as my audio version of the other platforms but its just one way to get my brand out there
Just started doing a video podcast along with the audio podcast. I'm loving it! I have the Rodecaster pro and run the audio out of it into the camera. Livestream them as well. Working great!
We do the live recording of the show on YT, and then edit it down to something which works without the visuals, which 8 shows in seems to be a pretty good system (touch wood!)
Do you think there is any point to also making a video excerpt of the podcast as well as uploading the whole thing? The goal of the excerpt is to give people good info (when they are short on time) or will the two videos compete with each other in terms of ranking and SEO (because they are the same topic). I'd love to hear your view on that...
We watched this video before deciding which platform would be best for us and this helped us figure out UA-cam is it for us! We tried to do a similar set up to the Supermega podcast, with a background image along with audio and intermittent text changes. Hopefully the effort of editing will be worth it in the long run 🙏🏽
Lots of people use UA-cam for background audio so it makes sense to just upload it here as well. I mean it's one more small step, but I can have more comments and my shoe might be discovered by more people.
Nice bit I'm not sure about the advice of needing a video feed. Some like Sam Harris just upload the video to UA-cam with a static image and it seems to work fine for them. I feel UA-cam comments have enough culture to make up for the lack of video.
There is a completely different strategy to growing on youtube (broll, enticing hooks etc, camera cuts etc) and so I wonder if putting a podcast up on YT would kill a channel. I hear both things.
I want to upload my podcast to UA-cam because that is where I started building my audience first but I hated setting up the studio. Do you have a video showing how to upload the podcast and using an image to UA-cam? I want to keep my audience but don’t want to do videos anymore.
Thanks for the valuable information!! We recently discovered this fact and are no longer doing only audio clips for our podcast on UA-cam! You live, you learn! If anyone wants to see what NOT to do and watch how we adapt/grow you can see what we did!
What do you think? Put a podcast on my main youtube channel or set up a new channel just for my podcast or wait to see what this new UA-cam Podcast feature is all about in 2023? Thanks.
I'm just wondering if it's better to only upload my full podcast or if I should also shorten it and upload multiple segments of my podcast so people don't get bored of watching a 30 to 45 minute podcast on youtube. Having to edit more videos is not an issue for me.
This likely sounds like a dumb question. But if you are recording a video for UA-cam as well as the audio podcast, how do you make sure they are both edited the same? Maybe I am not wording this correctly. I am just getting started. I assume you go about editing your UA-cam videos in iMovie or Windows Movie Maker or some other software. However, wouldn't you also have an audio recording that you are editing through Audacity or something else before you upload the file to your podcast hosting companie (Buzzsprout for example)? Is there a way to edit both the audio and video so that they are consistent? I'm such a newbie.
Here's how we edit our videos for UA-cam: 1. Record the video with the camera's internal mic audio turned on 2. Record the "better" audio with a podcast microphone using Audacity 3. Bring the video file and the audio file into your editing software 4. Sync the better audio to the video using the audio waveforms from the two files 5. Mute the audio from the camera's internal mic 6. When you're done editing, export 2x files - one with video and one without
@@Buzzsprout So, is it super tricky to try to edit out a mistake in both files and make sure the audio and video still sync up? Such...a...newbie. Still.
Why can't you just upload a podcast with a static image or gif? I seen PLEANTLY of youtube podcasts (successful ones) that do this where it's just custom art of the podcasters, or their logo. I go to youtube to have audio in the background while I am doing or working on something else. Visuals aren't needed and often times actually distracting when I put a podcast on in the background. UA-cam is my prefrence because it's right there in my sub box with everything else. There are people who just upload their songs to youtube. No video except maybe lyrics. The notion where you "need" video is a false premise. The actual main content just needs to be enthralling enough with a good starting audience already.
A lot of the people that I plan on interviewing for my podcast are not native English-speakers, so I was hoping to use YT so that I can caption the translations of the interviews. But at the same time, I’m doing my best to protect the interviewees’ anonymity. Any suggestions on how to approach this?
Do you think people are more willing to watch when people are together in a room or are they ok with zoom calls I ask cuz..1...well..Covid and two my co-host are in a different city from me
Interesting, but IF you initially have the forethought that your going to upload a youtube podcast, then consider the VISUAL as if it is what the Viewer is going to see, a Speaker encapsulated around a mic ! Good viewing point ? Not hardly. Viewers who watch information through UA-cam look for eye contact showing you are speaking to Them, not the mic as it is nonessential in regular Podcasting.
Thank you for the feedback, Mick! We've recently started shooting the videos head-on and showing more of my computer screen: ua-cam.com/video/u2RKz-qm2Nw/v-deo.html Tips and recommendations are welcome!
Two solutions! 1) Try moving your light source so it's angled above your head height and to the sides of your face. 2) Try out glasses with an anti-glare coating!

The big advantage to UA-cam is that it gives you a sharable link to your podcast episode. To me its best use is as an advertising tool.

If it works, keep putting it out there!

Perfect validation here - was my thought exactly.... Not putting our podcast on UA-cam until we decide to video the recording of it.
A lot of the best advice is honestly just having somebody validate what you already suspected. Glad it was helpful!

You can use a service like Wavve to create "audiograms" of your podcast episodes and upload those to UA-cam: wavve.co/
Thanks for the valuable information!! We recently discovered this fact and are no longer doing only audio clips for our podcast on UA-cam! You live, you learn! If anyone wants to see what NOT to do and watch how we adapt/grow you can see what we did!
Super cool! Thanks for sharing! It's always good to have an example of what not to do. Excited to watch you guys grow!

Do both. Joe Rogan uploads the full 3+ hour interview to UA-cam and creates

Thank you for such a cool explanation. I had to talk with our team and maybe we will start record the interviews which we do for the podcast :)
Thanks Buzzspout. Chicago Red Pilled Podcast 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Just want to say you gave me exactly what I needed to hear, thanks 👍
How do I get my video podcast on you tube podcast section
Great job thanks i like how you covered this.
Thanks!
Do you think people are more willing to watch when people are together in a room or are they ok with zoom calls I ask cuz..1...well..Covid and two my co-host are in a different city from me
I have been long thinking about how YT can support my podcast; I think that some short videos would be great for driving traffic.
It does! Some of the podcasters do the same thing too. If you have any questions, feel free to reach us to support.
So helpful!!! Thank you.
Glad to be of help. Thanks, Jenny!
Would you put the same content on your podcast mps and UA-cam?
How do you capture the podcast? Camera and other equipment video like the podcast video would be killer!!!
If you Already have camera gear, your practically there !
@@Ghostfanofurs true. I found a video by ThinkMedia that adds that portion of information for me. Can't wait to get this thing really going!!
ThinkMedia is great! Everything they say about video is pure gold
What kind of mic is that?
Rode PodMic 😊
Love this! Thanks guys 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting, but IF you initially have the forethought that your going to upload a youtube podcast, then consider the VISUAL as if it is what the Viewer is going to see, a Speaker encapsulated around a mic !

Tips and recommendations are welcome!
But what If We are on a low budget
How do you keep from getting glare on your eyeglasses?
Two solutions! 1) Try moving your light source so it's angled above your head height and to the sides of your face. 2) Try out glasses with an anti-glare coating!
FRESH UK Podcast is on UA-cam 😎 👌🏼
I am having an out of body experience watching this podcast on UA-cam. Totally Meta
you should support them.
Cons one need to buy webcam with the microphone ? Podcasting requires money 💰 . And more can kill me . ( In youtube )
Good info! Thanks!
You're welcome!
It works best if you get a video created that matches with your podcast.
If I curse on my podcast would patreon ban me ?
No
I know you’re reading, can you please make it less obvious?
