Editing Podcast Details
Update your podcast's details, defaults, and distribution settings in one editor.
How to Open the Editor
- Navigate to Podcasts in the sidebar and select your podcast.
- Open the actions menu in the top-right corner.
- Click Edit Podcast.
The editor opens with your current settings. Your changes remain staged until you click Save Changes.
Main Details
The main editor includes the settings you are most likely to change:
- Cover art: Upload a replacement square image, or hover over the current cover and click the remove button to clear it. If you save without a cover, Jellypod generates a new one from your Podcast's title and description.
- Title: Update the name shown in directories, your website, and RSS feeds.
- Description: Use rich text formatting. Descriptions must be between 10 and 3,000 characters.
- Hosts: Search for Hosts, select up to 4, and remove selections from their pills.
- Language: Choose the Podcast's primary language.
- Categories: Search for categories, select up to 2, and remove selections from their pills.
Podcast Settings
Open a settings card to edit a focused group of options. Click Done to stage that dialog's changes in the main editor, or Cancel to discard them.
Brand
Choose the identity this Podcast (and new video generated for it) inherits: your organization's default Brand Kit, any other Brand Kit in your workspace, or a Custom Primary color override just for this Podcast. This is also where the Podcast website's accent color is set; see Brand Kits.
Podcast Sources
Attach up to 3 reusable Sources from URLs, files, YouTube links, pasted text, or your Source Library. These Sources provide context for every new Episode in the Podcast. Detaching a Source from the Podcast does not delete it from your Source Library.
Episode Music Defaults
Choose default intro, background, and outro music. These defaults apply to new Episodes only. Changing them does not alter existing Episodes.
Next to Intro, click Generate (or Regenerate if an Intro is already set) to have Jellypod create an original Intro for you instead of picking a file manually. See Generating a Podcast Intro.
Video Settings
Choose a Magic Video template, orientation, and style for new Episodes, and a video background color. On the Creator plan and above, add a custom watermark: upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP image (5 MB maximum, any aspect ratio) or click Click to use your cover art to use your Podcast's cover image instead, then choose which corner it appears in. The watermark applies to every Episode video for this Podcast going forward, including previews and re-renders of already-published Episodes, not just new ones. The Podcast's Brand Kit and website accent color are managed separately in the Brand settings card.
Distribution
Manage podcast directory links and social links. Jellypod branding is removed automatically on the Creator plan and above.
Advanced
Click Advanced in the editor footer to update:
- Author: The person or organization credited in podcast directories.
- Episode order: Choose Episodic or Serial.
- Visibility: Choose Public, Unlisted, or Private.
- Analytics: Enable or disable download and play tracking.
- New episode emails: Toggle off to stop emailing your team when an episode publishes or is scheduled for this Podcast. See Notification Preferences.
- Additional Options: Expand this section to unlock the RSS feed.
Saving Changes
Click Save Changes in the main editor to apply every staged change at once. Closing the main editor discards all unsaved changes, including changes staged in a settings dialog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will editing my Podcast affect already-published Episodes?
Podcast-level details such as the title, description, and cover art update on your Podcast website and RSS feed. Existing Episodes retain their own titles, descriptions, and music, but a Podcast watermark applies to every Episode video the next time it renders.
Where do I change my Podcast's Brand Kit or accent color?
Open Edit Podcast and click the Brand settings card. Choose your Organization default Brand Kit, another Brand Kit, or a Custom Primary override for this Podcast alone; see Brand Kits.
Can I change my Podcast's visibility from Unlisted to Public?
Yes. Open Edit Podcast, click Advanced, change Visibility to Public, click Done, and then click Save Changes.
Who can add a custom watermark?
Custom watermarks are available on the Creator plan and above. Starter users see an upgrade prompt when they try to add or change one.
What happens if I remove my cover art?
Jellypod generates a new cover from your Podcast's title and description when you click Save Changes. If generation fails, your previous cover art is kept.
