  3. Audioship will fetch the audio and the metadata of your episodes including title, description and artwork.

Edit the video settings

You may edit the video title, description, privacy status and image for each one or all episodes at once.

  1. To edit an episode description, select Custom and edit what's already in the box. We have already prepulated a description using the RSS data.

  2. You can make episodes public, private, unlisted or schedule them to go public in a future date and time.

  3. To edit the background image of a video, click on the image and select or upload a new image. By default we use the RSS episode artwork

Publish the video to your YouTube channel

When you are ready to post your episodes to YouTube, click Post All Videos To YouTube at the top right of the page. Depending on how many episodes you're uploading and how long they are, this might take from a few minutes to hours. Closing the tab won't stop the upload process.
