YouTube App Introduces Dedicated Podcasts Tab
YouTube has introduced a dedicated “Podcasts” tab to channel pages. This new feature aims to simplify the process of discovering and accessing podcast content on the platform. The “Podcasts” tab is positioned between the “Live” and “Playlist” tabs on channel pages, making it easier for users to find podcast playlists curated by content creators. Previously, users had to search by name, show card, or manually navigate the Playlist tab that didn’t differentiate podcasts from other content.
This updated approach to podcast discovery not only simplifies the user experience but also encourages YouTube Creators to upload episodes as videos under this specific category. Channels like Electrek.co and Team Coco have already adopted the new Podcasts tab, making their content available.
Although the YouTube app now includes a dedicated Podcasts tab, YouTube Music is still working on integrating podcast support. Once implemented, podcasts marked appropriately will be displayed in YouTube Music. Currently, YouTube Music’s podcast support is in the testing phase, with a limited number of users granted access.
At the moment, the Podcasts tab in the YouTube app primarily focuses on video content. However, Google has urged podcast creators to upload square cover art for their podcasts, which will be fully integrated in the visual feature soon.
