If you host with Spotify, your podcast will automatically appear on Spotify as soon as you publish your first episode.
Note: You need to verify your account before you can publish your first episode. You should've received a verification email when you created your account. Check this article for tips
Listeners on Spotify benefit from many features that aren’t available on other platforms, including:
- Video podcasts - Record video episodes, or add video to an existing episode
- Music + Talk - Combine music tracks from the entire Spotify catalog with your own talk segments
- Q&A and polls - Add questions or polls to your episodes that listeners can engage with from the Spotify app
If you host your podcast elsewhere, you can still access many of these features with Spotify for Podcasters, as well as track how your podcast is performing on Spotify.
