For the past year or so, YouTube have stepped up their podcast game, <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/create-a-podcast-in-youtube\/\">launching features to enhance the experience for creators.<\/a> Finally, YouTube have put these podcasts to their full audience potential, by launching on their music streaming platform, YouTube Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, podcasts uploaded and <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCkRfArvrzheW2E7b6SVT7vQ\/community?lb=UgkxYb6lAYoHAxq8lO3r0k0IdlSHHhWJUFWN\">correctly labelled<\/a> on YouTube are available in both YouTube and YouTube Music in the US. This means you can start watching a podcast video on YouTube on your laptop, then pick up your phone to continue listening on YouTube Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While non-paying YouTube Music users are restricted on how they can listen to music on the platform, for podcasts, on-demand, offline, background listening and casting are available to all YouTube Music users, regardless of whether they&#8217;re paying or not. As on other platforms, YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers may still hear ads or sponsorship messages. These are determined by the podcast creator, not the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Where are podcasts on YouTube Music?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature is currently rolling out to all listeners on iOS, Android and web, in the US and coming to more regions &#8220;in the future&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users with the feature will find a new <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Podcasts<\/strong> filter at the top of the <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Home<\/strong> page. Here, you&#8217;ll find new podcast recommendations and unfinished episodes.
