How do I turn my YouTube video into a podcast episode?+
Paste your video's YouTube link above (the format is already set to Audio/MP3) and click Download to get a clean MP3 of the audio track. From there, import it into AudioPod to transcribe it for show notes, polish it, or assemble it into a full podcast episode you can publish to your feed.
Can I download a YouTube livestream or premiere as audio for my podcast?+
Yes. Once your livestream or premiere has finished and is available as a normal video, paste the link and download the audio as MP3. Free downloads cover videos up to 10 minutes; sign up for a free account to grab full-length streams and longer interviews with priority processing.
What about long guest interviews — is there a length or download limit?+
Without an account you get up to 5 downloads a day for videos up to 10 minutes. A free AudioPod account unlocks unlimited downloads and longer videos, which is what most podcasters need for hour-long interviews and back catalogs.
Is it legal to download YouTube audio for my podcast?+
Only download audio you own or have the rights to use — your own uploads, your guests' interviews with their permission, or content you're licensed to use. Always respect copyright and YouTube's Terms of Service. AudioPod is built for creators repurposing their own content, not for taking other people's work.
Can I get show notes and timestamps from the downloaded audio?+
Yes. With a free AudioPod account you can run the MP3 through transcription to auto-generate a transcript, timestamps, and quotable highlights — the raw material for episode descriptions, chapters, and social posts.
Can I clean up or remix the audio after downloading?+
You can. After downloading, use AudioPod to split the audio into stems — isolate the voices, lift or mute background music, and rebuild a clean voice bed before you publish. It's handy for interviews recorded with music underneath or noisy livestream audio.
