Video podcasts using RSS

HLS video is the preferred method for distributing video on Apple Podcasts.* Learn more about how to publish HLS video on Apple Podcasts.

Video podcasts using standard RSS feeds remain available to all creators through many hosting providers. When you distribute video through an RSS feed, you publish video episodes to a new or dedicated feed. If you already have an audio version of your show on Apple Podcasts, you can create a new show for the video version, making it easy to distinguish the audio and video versions. Use titles, descriptions, and show artwork to help users locate each version. MOV, MP4, and M4V files are supported.

Submit your video podcast using RSS

When your show is ready, you can distribute it on Apple Podcasts using an RSS feed that’s self-hosted or distributed using a third-party hosting provider.

After you have an RSS feed URL, navigate to submit a show and follow the steps to submit an RSS feed using Apple Podcasts Connect. All shows must meet our technical requirements and content guidelines before they are validated and published on Apple Podcasts. After your podcast is validated and approved, you can publish it to Apple Podcasts.

*HLS video may not be available in all countries and regions. See availability of Apple Podcasts features.
