Engage your audience with interactive podcasts.
In the digital age, we’ve stumbled upon many tools, software, and platforms that have redefined how we connect, learn, and engage with people. Among them, podcast stands out as a particularly important stage where people can educate, share stories, and shape perspectives with a captivating fusion of amusement and enlightenment.
Podcasts have now become the go-to companion for people on the move. Whether commuting to work, hitting the gym, or tackling household chores, individuals are embracing podcasts to make the most of their time. As of 2024, there are 504.9 million podcast listeners whereas the global market size of the podcast industry is expected to reach $30.03 billion at the end of 2024.
This shift towards podcast consumption reflects a growing desire for multitasking and self-improvement, as individuals seek to optimize their busy schedules by staying informed, inspired, and entertained.
Yostream is a browser-based live streaming software which means you don’t need to download and install any typical software. To start using the podcast service, you simply need to sign in. Launched on May 2, 2024, to amplify voices through audio-visual mediums, the podcast software of Yostream helps create high-quality content which eventually plays a key role in audience engagement.
The user-friendly interface reduces the learning curves for users. They don’t need to spend too much time navigating and figuring out how to create a podcast.
Whether you're a teacher, journalist, coach, or entertainer, podcasting with Yostream offers a platform to share your voice and connect with like-minded individuals from different parts of the world. Not only can you build a community of fellow creators, but you also have opportunities to earn money through sponsorships, advertisements, premium subscriptions, etc.
Podcast enables real-time connectivity with your team members (or anyone working on a shared project) eliminating the need for in-person meetings. You save your time and commuting costs as you can easily record discussions, interviews, or presentations from different locations and time zones.
With multi-track recording, one can easily get copies of the file in different formats. This feature is extremely beneficial in getting impeccable files whose quality can’t be compromised by poor internet connectivity or any other technical glitches. Furthermore, they can be edited and streamed later or repurposed to promote podcasts among new audiences who couldn’t join in when it went online for the first time.
The recorded podcast is stored under ‘Recordings’ in Yostream’s dashboard. From the above image, you can see a recorded podcast titled ‘Podcast Launch’ attended by two people (one host and another guest). In this case, there are three files: one is the complete recording of the podcast or the pristine version of the original conversation whereas the other two are the recorded files of both individuals.
During the podcast recording, there could be instances of audio and video quality fluctuations. Internet connectivity can be a major reason behind the quality issues. However, when you download the recorded files issues such as latency, packet loss, and bandwidth fluctuations, don’t find any place as the files are recorded locally.
Each participant's audio and video is recorded at the highest possible quality based on their local recording setup (microphones, cameras, etc.), without being subject to internet-related quality issues. Moreover, you’ve got the option to download video and audio files separately.
The podcast software of Yostream ensures a high-quality audio recording where background and unwanted noises are identified and wiped out. The built-in AI algorithm selectively removes or suppresses the identified noise components which helps maintain the clarity of the primary audio signals. The enhanced quality makes your podcast more professional while saving a lot of time and effort you invest in manual audio editing.
This is one of the most helpful features of podcast software because to beautify your content, you need intros, outros, sound effects, and other audio-visual clips. By pre-uploading necessary audio or video elements, creators can streamline their workflow and reduce post-production editing time.
To maximize the reach, you can multistream your podcast to multiple platforms simultaneously. Most of the social media platforms are integrated within Yostream, but if your desired channel is not listed, you can add it through custom RTMP.
