Most of the features you use to upload, publish, share, and monetize audio podcasts are also available for video podcasts. - Upload video once and Omny distributes both a video and audio version of your episode as needed. There’s no need to set up separate podcast metadata or markers for chapters and ads. - Monetization: Use TAP to insert audio ads in your video episodes. Monitor your video podcasts revenue with TAP forecasting and reporting. - Unlock new viewership: Reach new audiences looking for video content. - Increase CPMs: Charge advertisers more for ad placement as video episodes command more attention from listeners. > [!NOTE] > Omny does not currently support closed captions for video clips. > [!NOTE] > Video podcasting is an optional feature > > To activate video podcasting in Omny Studio, please contact your PDM or CSM at [Omny customer support](/user/docs/contact-omny-support). ## Learn About Video Podcasting [Embedded content](https://player.vimeo.com/video/1185875960?h=3a6eaaeef0) For more videos on Omny Studio, see [Content Delivery Webinar Recordings](/user/docs/content-delivery-webinars#omny-studio). ## Activate Video Podcasting To activate video podcasting, please contact your PDM or CSM at [Omny customer support.](https://help.tritondigital.com/user/docs/contact-omny-support) To activate Omny’s integration features for distributing video on some podcasting platforms, you also need to contact Omny customer support. You might also need to create an account on the podcasting platform. For example, to take advantage of Omny’s video integration with Apple Podcasts Connect, you need to activate this option with Omny Studio and create an account with Apple Podcasts Connect. ## Restrict Video Podcasting After enabling video, networks and programs can include video clips. You can restrict video podcasting to specific networks and programs. This is useful for limiting bandwidth and storage costs. ![Screenshot or Organization setttings > Feature restrictions > Video restrictions](https://cdn.document360.io/7124b381-0a94-401a-abbd-9df9c4ea5dff/Images/Documentation/Omny-Org-Settings-Video-Restrictions.png) 1. Go to **Organization settings > Feature restrictions**. 2. In **Networks**, specify which networks may have video content. Checking a network allows all of its programs to use video. 3. In **Programs**, specify which programs in all of your networks may have video. 4. Select **Save changes**. ## Create Clips and Playlists for Video - [Supported Formats](/user/docs/omny-studio-supported-formats): Prepare your video media for the best experience for your audience. - [Create video clips](/user/docs/upload-to-omny-studio): Upload your media and specify its metadata in a clip. - [Add video clips to playlists](/user/docs/uploading-a-new-podcast-episode): A playlist can contain audio clips, video clips, or a mix of both. ## Replace Audio Episodes with Video You can replace a clip’s audio media with its video version. Omny Studio handles this seamlessly, upgrading your playlists and audience’s experience in players that support video. For details, see [Replace a Clip's Media](/user/docs/replace-clip-media). ## Distribute Video Podcasts - [Submit Video to Apple Podcasts](/user/docs/submit-premium-content-hls-video-apple-podcasts): Manage how video clips appear in Apple Podcasts. - [Submit a Podcast to iHeartRadio](/user/docs/submit-your-podcast-to-iheartradio): Distribute video clips in iHeartRadio players. - [Submit a Podcast to Amazon Music](/user/docs/submit-your-show-to-amazon-music): Distribute video clips in Amazon Music players. - [Publish to Spotify](/user/docs/submit-your-podcast-to-spotify): Manage how video clips appear in Spotify. - [Embed a Podcast Player In a Website](/user/docs/embedding-audio-on-your-site): Insert an embed player for your video clip or playlist. - [Manage your RSS feed](/user/docs/where-is-my-rss-feed): Choose how your RSS feeds refer to your video clips for compatibility with podcast directories and platforms. ## Ad Insertion for Video Just as for audio podcasts, you can insert audio ads into your video podcasts. All players, both Omny Studio and third parties, play audio ads when streaming your video from the Omny Studio PDN. For details on ad insertion, see [Advertise on Podcasts in Omny Studio](/user/docs/advertising-on-podcasts-in-omny-studio). - The Omny Studio PDN currently doesn’t support video ad insertion. - You can target video clips with the `omny_media_type:video` ttag. For details, see [Use TTags for Targeting Ads](/user/docs/using-triton-tags-ttags-for-advertising-targeting-triton-tap-customers-only). - Ad insertion for video clips is only supported in Triton-provisioned organizations. - Impressions are reported as consumed audio ads. ### Ad Banners for Video When playing an audio ad, you can also specify an ad banner to go with it. For details, see [Add a Banner for Omny Studio Video Clips](/user/docs/banners-script-blocks#add-a-banner-ads-for-omny-studio-video-clips). If there is no banner for the ad, the video player shows this static image: ![Screenshot of the ad placeholder](https://cdn.document360.io/7124b381-0a94-401a-abbd-9df9c4ea5dff/Images/Documentation/Omny-video-ad-placeholder(1).png) ## Billing for Video Because video media needs more storage space than audio media, storage costs can be higher. You can see the **Video storage** amount for Omny-hosted video media in **Organization settings > Plan & billing**, Example: ![Screenshot of Organization settings > Plan & billing](https://cdn.document360.io/7124b381-0a94-401a-abbd-9df9c4ea5dff/Images/Documentation/Omny-Org-Settings-Video-Billing.png) ## Tip: Hosting Your Own Video Omny Studio takes care of hosting your video, including storage, processing, and streaming. But if you're hosting your own video, you can use a custom field to link to your self-hosted video in your RSS feed or access it with the [Consumer API](/user/docs/consumer-api). For more information, see [Custom Fields](/user/docs/custom-fields).
