Video podcast hosting: your episodes on your site, with your brand

Updated: November 6, 2026

More and more podcasts are recorded on video. Posting them only on the big platforms means your audience gets distracted by other channels’ recommendations. With Dembed you also have each episode on your own site, in a player with your brand, and you earn from every monetized view.

Built for long episodes

  • Files up to 5 GB per episode, or 50 GB with Premium for hours-long episodes in high quality.
  • Uploads resume if your connection drops: no repeating hours of uploading.
  • Resume where they left off: each listener picks up the episode at the exact minute.
  • Playback speed from 0.5× to 2×, like podcast apps.

Tools for your audience

  • “Skip intro”: mark the show’s opening and your audience jumps straight into the conversation.
  • Subtitles in .srt or .vtt in several languages per episode: more accessible and useful for people watching without sound.
  • Folders by season or series.
  • Your color and logo or watermark on the player, with no recommendations from other channels.

How to publish it

  1. 1Upload the episode as MP4 (H.264 + AAC) and save it in its season’s folder.
  2. 2Mark the intro section and add subtitles if you have them.
  3. 3Embed the iframe on the episode’s page on your site, next to the show notes and links.
  4. 4Share the direct link on your socials and in the audio episode’s description.

What if I only have audio?

Dembed hosts video. If your podcast is audio-only, you can turn it into a video with a still image (the episode cover) using FFmpeg or your editor:

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i cover.jpg -i episode.mp3 -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -b:a 160k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest episode.mp4

Earnings

Every monetized view (a real play of at least 60 seconds, without an ad blocker) adds to your balance, at each country’s real RPM. Long episodes are a good fit: people who start a podcast usually stay well past a minute.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if the file fits the limit: 5 GB per video, or 50 GB with Premium.
