Your First Steps with Podigee
Use these steps to prepare your podcast and publish its first episode. If your podcast is with another host, use the transfer instructions first. Do not create a second listing on the platforms.
1. Add the podcast information
Open the podcast and the General tab. Enter the title, description and author. Set the language, category and explicit-content setting for the podcast. Save the settings.
Upload a square cover image. Use the cover image instructions for the format, dimensions and platform requirements. One file-size limit does not apply to every platform.
2. Set the subdomain
Select the subdomain before you share the feed URL. It is part of your podcast addresses. If the podcast is already published, read the subdomain instructions before a change.
3. Set up your team
If other people will work on the podcast, examine the available seats and permissions in your account. The number of seats depends on the plan. There is no universal allowance of 25 editors for each podcast.
Use the editor instructions. Select the correct access permissions. Examine the email address before you send an invitation.
4. Prepare and publish the first episode
Create an episode. Enter its title and description and upload the audio file. Follow the upload and processing steps. The available publication action can start processing. Examine the source first. Play the processed file when it is available. Examine the cover image, show notes and publication time.
Use the available publication options to publish the podcast and the episode. A published podcast without a published episode has no episode to play in its feed. Then open the public podcast page and play the episode.
The image shows an older screen as an example. Names and available options can be different.
5. Connect the platforms
Open Exports and use the instructions for the platform. First, search for your podcast on that platform. If it is listed, use the existing listing.
Video podcasts are available to all accounts on the current plan lineup. Legacy plans do not include video podcasts. Automatic exports have separate function and platform requirements. Examine the functions in your account and the current plan comparison. An upload to Podigee does not show that an external platform has published the episode.
Use the platform publication overview to find the individual instructions. After setup, examine the public listing and playback on each platform.
For video podcasts, use Video podcasts with Podigee: Get started and select a platform.
