You can get a playlist’s RSS feed to include it in your web page, subscribe from a podcasting app, or manually submit it to a podcast directory. To submit your podcast to specific platforms and directories, see Add Your Program to Podcast Directories.
Omny Studio generates an RSS feed for each playlist and provides a fixed URL to access it. Podcast directories, platforms, and apps use the RSS feed to keep track of updates to your podcast. When you add new episodes, modify metadata, or make other changes to your playlist, Omny Studio also updates its RSS feed.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is the industry-standard format for tracking podcasts. It includes information about your podcast’s audio, video, and metadata. Omny Studio follows the RSS 2.0 and Podcasting 2.0 specifications.

Get a Playlist’s Default RSS Feed
You can get a playlist’s default RSS feed. The default feed is supported by all podcast platforms, apps, and web players.
This feed refers to either audio or video, but not both. You can choose which media format to include in the default RSS feed with Media format in the playlist’s settings. Media format specifies which type of clip to link to in the feed’s RSS 2.0 enclosure elements, either audio or video. For more information, see Playlists Explained.
Go to Manage Audio > Programs, then select the program you want.
Select Playlists and find the playlist.
Select Details.
In RSS feed, select Copy to clipboard.
Get an RSS Feed with Both Audio and Video
Video in Omny Studio is a beta feature. The user interface and other details might change as we get this feature ready for you.
You can get an RSS feed that includes both audio and video by appending ?altEnclosureUrls=true to the end of the default RSS feed’s URL.
Some podcast platforms, like Apple and Spotify, just ignore the Podcasting 2.0 alternate enclosure, so your audio delivery is not affected.
Media format | Enclosure element | Alternate enclosure element |
|---|---|---|
Video-first | Video clip: Link to video media. Audio clip: Link to audio media. | Video clip: Link to the audio of the video media. Audio clip: No alternate enclosure element. |
Audio-first | Video clip: Link to the audio track of video media. Audio clip: Link to audio media. | Video clip: Link to video media. Audio clip: No alternate enclosure element. |
For example, a playlist’s default RSS feed’s URL returns an RSS feed that uses only RSS 2.0 enclosure elements to link to either audio or video:
https://example.com/playlist/1234
This URL returns an RSS feed that includes the same RSS 2.0 enclosure elements as the default RSS feed, as well as Podcasting 2.0 alternate enclosure elements that link to the alternate media files:
https://example.com/playlist/1234?altEnclosureUrls=true
