New Audiogram Video Templates

Your podcast now looks better—and reads better, too.

Jellypod now lets you choose from a library of audiogram video templates, complete with built-in captions. Whether you're posting to YouTube, Instagram, or your custom Jellypod page, your episode can now look exactly the way you want.

Here's What's New

Switch up the vibe with templates like:

  • Classic Captions: easy-to-read subtitles baked into the video
  • Spotlight: puts focus on the speaker with a minimalist frame
  • Karaoke: word-by-word highlights that match your audio
  • Classic Audiogram: the waveform-driven template you already know and love

Choose Your Format

Need a landscape version for YouTube? A portrait video for TikTok? A square one for Facebook? Just click “Video Settings” in the editor and pick what fits your platform.

And captions too? Instead of scrolling to the transcript, listeners can now read along right in the video. Better for engagement, better for accessibility.

Your podcast deserves to look as good as it sounds. Whether you're sharing your episode or embedding the video it on your site, having more template customizability allows your podcast to stand out.

Try it out next time you finish an episode. Just click "Video Settings" in the top right and make it your own.

Embed Player: Listen to Your Podcast on Your Website

What if a visitor to your site could easily listen to the elevator pitch? Or perhaps hear the freshest customer case study or feature announcement?

Using our customizable embed player, it takes just 30 seconds to add your new podcast to your existing website. The player auto-updates with your latest episodes, can be customized to match your brand's colors, and is response on both mobile and desktop devices.

How to Get Started

It takes just a few minutes to get it all set up! And don't worry if the code looks scary – getting set up is super simple.

  1. Go to Your Podcast: Navigate to your podcast on Jellypod.
  2. Click the "Embeddable Player": Locate and click on the "Embeddable Player" button. It looks like a gray website icon.
  3. Select a theme and copy the code: There will be some html code in a text box you'll need to copy to add your player into your website.
  4. Embed on Your Site: Paste the copied iframe code into your website's HTML.

By default, the player shows the most recent episode published on your podcast. As you publish more episodes, your player will automatically update.

If you have any trouble embedding your new podcast player in your website, please reach out! We are happy to guide you through the process end to end.

Displaying a Specific Episode

If you'd like to show a specific episode, then simply add ?episode=<episode_id> to the end of the URL inside of the iframe code. For example, if the embed code looks like https://my-podcast.jellypod.com/embed, you'd change it to https://my-podcast.jellypod.com/embed?episode=<episode_id>, replacing <episode_id> with your episode's unique id.

The episode's ID is a long string that can be found as the last part in the url when playing your episode from your podcast website. It will look something like this: 22cf4e5b-0baa-4b74-a8b2-ae61566082b3.

Customizing the Theme

We provide 8 default themes that can be selected when copying your embed player code. These themes can be used to style your embed player to match your website's colors.

If you want more flexibility in the specific colors, you can provide hex colors (e.g. #efaefa) in the query parameters in the embed code. The four colors you can specify are:

  • primary_color
  • secondary_color
  • tertiary_color
  • background_color

You should specify a color for all four values for best results. If one of the above color values is not provided, we will fall back to the default.

Here is an example:

https://ai-podcast-mastery.jellypod.com/embed?theme=dark&primary_color=FF6B9D&secondary_color=00D4FF&tertiary_color=FFE66D&background_color=1A1A2E

Don't have an existing site for your podcast? No worries! A unique podcast website is automatically created for you for free on Jellypod, which you can customize with a custom domain.

Own Your Podcast Brand with Custom Domains

Your Podcast. Your Brand. Your Domain.

Jellypod just made it even easier to create a fully branded podcast experience with Custom Domains. Now, podcasters can host their AI-generated shows on their own domain or a subdomain like podcasts.yoursite.com, giving them complete brand ownership with no Jellypod branding.

For businesses, media outlets, and content creators, this is the final step in making your AI-powered podcast look and feel like a seamless part of your brand.

Why Custom Domains?

Until now, hosting a podcast often meant sharing a domain with a third-party platform, limiting brand control. With Jellypod Custom Domains, your podcast is truly yours: your branding, your SEO benefits, and your audience staying on your site.

This means:

  • Full Brand Ownership: no Jellypod branding, just your podcast, your domain, and your identity.
  • Improved SEO and Discoverability: a custom domain helps your podcast rank higher in search results, driving organic traffic.
  • Direct Website Integration: link your podcast directly from your main site and keep listeners within your ecosystem.
  • Better Listener Experience: no external branding or redirects, so your podcast reads as part of your brand.

How Custom Domains Work

Setting up a Custom Domain with Jellypod is simple:

Connect Your Domain – Use your existing domain or create a subdomain like podcasts.yoursite.com.

Customize Your Podcast Website – Personalize the look and feel with unique cover art and social media links.

Launch & Share – Keep your audience engaged on your site, without external distractions.

The Future of Branded AI Podcasting

Jellypod is committed to giving creators full control over their podcasting experience. Custom Domains give businesses, creators, and brands a professional, self-contained podcast presence.

This is just one of many features on the way for podcasters. Start using Custom Domains today and take full control of your podcasting brand.

Fetch Real-time Info with Web Search

Podcasting thrives on good storytelling, topic discovery, and knowledge sharing. And, oftentimes, the most interesting information is timely, and requires up-to-date, live context for the content to be valubale.

However, AI faces a critical limitation: it relies on data in their training, constrained by the cutoff dates and static resources. This is why Jellypod encourages users to upload sources (PDFs, websites, etc.) to ground your podcast in content that may not be perfectly represented in the model.

So, to help accelerate this type of live, content aggregation, we're excited to announce Web Search, a new feature in Jellypod designed specifically to pull in current information from the internet as a podcast source.

Why Websearch?

Imagine you're covering your favorite sports team, and a crucial game has just ended: your podcast wouldn't have access to the latest score or highlights. Until now, getting timely, real-world information into your episodes required manually finding and uploading specific sources.

WebSearch Transforms Podcast Creation

By enabling Web Search, you can simply type a natural-language query during the podcast creation process. Jellypod then searches the internet and fetches the most relevant, real-time information (with citations), adding it as a source to your episode.

Then, you can review the content and it's sources, ensuring the content is accurate.

This means:

  • Real-Time Accuracy: Immediately access live updates, such as breaking news, sport scores, or rapidly changing market trends.
  • Dynamic Content Creation: Effortlessly bring fresh perspectives and current insights into every episode, enhancing your podcast's relevance.
  • Full Control and Confidence: Review the sourced information and citations before publishing, ensuring every episode remains credible, accurate, and authoritative.

Web Search lets you create more informed, engaging content without doing research outside of Jellypod's studio, so you can put a well-sourced episode together quickly and confidently.

Starting today, all users can experience the power of real-time information integrated directly into your podcasting workflow. Try Web Search in Jellypod today and redefine what's possible with your AI-powered podcast.

Introducing Audiograms

Podcasting is one of the most powerful mediums for sharing ideas, sparking meaningful conversations, and exploring new topics. Whether you’re listening in your car, while working out, or even sitting on your couch, podcasts let us dive into stories and conversations that have been traditionally underrepresented.

However, the way we consume podcasts is evolving.

Visual storytelling is increasingly becoming a significant part of the podcasting landscape. Platforms like YouTube have transformed how we experience podcasts, blending audio with video to captivate broader audiences.

So, due to overwhelming demand, we're announcing the introduction of Video Audiograms to kick off Jellypod’s very first Launch Week.

Creating Audiograms

Now, when you create your episode on Jellypod, we’ll automatically generate an audiogram video without needing another platform or service. All users, both paid and free, can share this video via downloads or on your podcast's custom website.

We believe things should be exceptional by default, with customization as an optional afterthought. We want our users to go, “Wow, that’s better than I would have done it” the first time around, opting into our design opinions versus spending time creating your own.

Video Templates

Our first video template that is live today showcases your podcast’s title, description, and waveform in an optimized layout, with zero design necessary. Your video's background color is extracted from your episode’s cover art, and modifications to your title and description are instantly reflected in your video preview.

Every detail—from text placement to color harmony—is perfectly handled by Jellypod, so you can focus solely on content creation and telling your story.

Amplifying Human Storytelling

We’re committed to being the best platform to turn the story in your head into a reality. From ideation, creation, and distribution, Jellypod provides everything you need to get your first podcast in front of millions of listeners worldwide, in under 20 minutes.

Today's release of audiograms marks just the beginning of a robust future for AI podcasting and creators everywhere. Try it out today!
