Finally, Google is making good on its promise to add podcasts to YouTube Music. In a recently released support document, Google says that users will be able to consume podcasts on-demand, offline and in the background, and stream them to other devices such as Bluetooth speakers without the need for a paid YouTube Music subscription. Users will also be able to switch between audio and video versions of podcasts within the app.
Podcast recommendations and unfinished episodes will be available from the Home tab in the app. Youtube music. You can also click on the Podcasts tab at the top of the app to filter offers. Google expected podcasts to appear on the YouTube streaming app in February. The integration should help the app compete better with similar services like Spotify, which recently announced it has 515 million listeners, of which 210 million are paying subscribers. YouTube last reported (in November) that it has 80 million Music and Premium subscribers worldwide, although that figure includes active members with trial accounts.
YouTube Premium, formerly known as Music Key and then YouTube Red and finally Premium, is a standalone subscription service that offers ad-free access to content available on YouTube. Adding podcasts to YouTube Music might seem a bit unusual, especially since Google already has a dedicated podcast app and YouTube also supports podcasts. This move could be a step towards simplifying some of the proposals…or perhaps the other way around. After all, Google has a reputation for producing fragmented product lines.
A release for listeners in the United States is underway and rolling out gradually, so if you haven’t seen it yet, please be patient. Google said YouTube Music podcasts will eventually be made available to people in other regions, but did not provide specific details. Google has also published a white paper for podcast content creators to help them get the most out of the new integration.
Podcasts: the on-demand format that continues to grow
Podcasts have become increasingly popular in recent years for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is a convenient way to consume audio content anytime, anywhere, as users can listen to it on their phones, computers, smart speakers, etc. In addition, a large number of podcasts are available on a wide variety of topics, allowing users to find what interests them and learn while having fun. Finally, podcasts offer an interesting alternative to traditional radio as users can customize their listening experience based on their preferences.
Last year, YouTube managed to add 80 million subscribers to its Music and Premium services, the latter of which provides ad-free access to the platform. While the number is significant, it still falls short of competitors like Spotify, which recently had 200 million paid subscribers. As for YouTube, the platform has over 2 billion users and has become a great resource for finding podcasts.
