A YouTube Music podcast, in the feed.

YouTube Music lets listeners play podcasts in the background. It uses your show's feed or a YouTube playlist.

How YouTube Music works for podcasts

A show can be added through its RSS feed or by setting a playlist as a podcast. YouTube then treats it as audio with a video option.

What to prepare

Before you publish:

  • Check the feed or playlist is accepted.
  • Keep titles and artwork identical to your other listings.
  • Decide whether to publish video as well.
  • Review how episodes appear on mobile.

Who listens and how

Listeners often switch between audio and video on the same service. A clear opening and a steady voice help in both modes.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Is YouTube Music separate from YouTube?

They are linked but separate. Your feed can appear in both if your setup allows it.

What loudness do you deliver?

About −16 LUFS ±1 integrated with true peaks no higher than −1 dBTP. The [loudness guide](/podcast-production/podcast-lufs) explains why and cites Apple and Spotify.
