Add a YouTube Show to Your Publisher Page

For Simulcast tracking and measurement to work on Podscribe, the first step is to ensure the Podscribe dashboard can match podcast audio episodes to their YouTube simulcasted counterparts. Once you’ve followed the steps below, Podscribe will being automatically making those matches.

Note: Advertisers and agencies must reach out to adops@podscribe.com to get help adding YouTube channels to podcasts.

First, head to the show’s YouTube channel.

If every video published is a podcast episode, then you can copy the link of the Video tab.

The link you should copy will have the word 'videos' at the end of the URL, like this: https://www.youtube.com/@callherdaddy/videos

If not all videos published are podcast episodes (eg. the podcast episodes are all in a playlist) then click the playlist tab and select the correct playlist.

Copy the YouTube playlist link that contains all of the podcast's episodes. The screen you are taken to should look like this and the link you'd copy has the word playlist in it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGqHFvYjXKcipJd5WZKt-oG4Xaau9aR4D

Note that the link cannot link to an individual YouTube video in the playlist, like the latest episode. Any link with the word watch in it will be incorrect. For eg.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPJJN2LRESk&list=PLGqHFvYjXKcipJd5WZKt-oG4Xaau9aR4D

Then, go to your Podscribe dashboard and navigate to the Configure tab in the sidebar.

Click on Add Show/YouTube Channel

Then, paste the copied Youtube link (which should not match any shows). Next, clickAdd YouTube by Playlist/Channel' or 'Add Podcast by iTunes

Paste the YouTube link again, then click Add

Afterward, wait at least 2-3 minutes for the update to take effect. Then, refresh the page and check if the show has been added successfully.

If you have multiple shows to add, you can bulk upload them to the publisher page instead of adding them individually. Simply click "Upload CSV File," and use the Sample Batch file to upload your shows.

If you have gone through these steps and the YouTube channel was already added to your Configure page, or the Show Page is not matching episodes after a few minutes, you can use this article to help you with matching individual audio episodes with the YouTube versions.
