Earlier this yr, information broke that podcasts have been lastly coming to YouTube Music, however there’s nonetheless no phrase on when the characteristic will go stay. Nonetheless, current updates to the YouTube Music Android app put all of the items in place, so it’s solely a matter of time.
In line with 9to5Google, who tore down the YouTube Music for Android APK model 5.48 replace file, Google added a number of strains of code to the app in preparation for the brand new characteristic. The settings menu could have all types of choices to decide on whether or not or to not watch podcast movies or solely hearken to audio. There’s even a “Swap podcast movies to audio-only variations of episodes when obtainable.”
It seems like Google’s YouTube Music app on Android could have sleep timer choices for podcasts, too, which is nice for customers listening as they go to sleep. You’ll additionally be capable to choose to stream over Wi-Fi solely and some different issues. I’m not an enormous podcast listener, however I take advantage of YouTube Music, so hopefully, there’s a setting to cover podcasts from search outcomes.
For now, we’re listening to YouTube is rolling out extra help and controls on YouTube Studio, the place creators could make playlists, simply label reveals or episodes, and rather more.
Sadly, we’re nonetheless not sure when Google plans to launch podcast help on YouTube Music, but it surely needs to be right here earlier than later.
