You can publish a video version of your podcast episodes to Apple Podcasts from Fountain.
Publishing video to Apple Podcasts is as simple as uploading your video file and publishing using the normal episode workflow.
Fountain optimizes your video for HLS video at 1080p resolution and publishes it to Apple via the Apple Podcasts API.
Your video is also included in your RSS feed as an alternate enclosure so that it can be played on Fountain and other supporting apps.
Before you can publish video, you need to connect your Apple Podcasts Connect account to Fountain. This is a one-time setup that authorizes Fountain to publish your shows and episodes to Apple Podcasts on your behalf.
To connect your account:
Once your key is uploaded, Fountain can publish video to Apple Podcasts for you.
To publish video to Apple Podcasts from Fountain:
If your podcast has already been submitted to Apple Podcasts, the video version will be available there in supported versions of the Apple Podcasts app and on the web.
Fountain extracts the audio from your video file for inclusion in your RSS feed, although Apple Podcasts will use the audio from your video file when playing the audio version.
If you wish, you can also upload a separate audio file. However, this might prevent listeners from switching seamlessly between audio and video in certain apps without losing their position.
For the best listener experience, we recommend uploading video only.
