With the closure of Google Podcast, podcast page launched in YouTube Music, what will be the benefit to the users

Google is shutting down its dedicated Google Podcast app globally. The latest move by the company presents an opportunity for YouTube to serve podcasts.

YouTube is going to launch a podcast service with the facility of audio content to its users.

Google Podcast will shut down this service permanently from mid to last June. Then, this service will not be available for any country except the US.

Besides this, Google is giving some options to its users to make the shift easier. Users can get options like migrating subscriptions, and exporting data.

This is a global shutdown after the closure of the Google Podcasts app in the US earlier this year. Now, the company is entirely focusing on YouTube.

In this episode, a new dedicated Your Podcasts page has been launched for users of YouTube Music.

This page will give a better reach to YouTube users in managing their podcast library. Users get options through this page—from music discovery to subscription.

YouTube is one of the most renowned platforms for video content. Here, in such a scenario, the company can share visually appealing content to enhance the user experience. Users can get the facility of audio episodes with still images, clips, and also with incorporated video clips. Now, all audio content will be under one roof for users with the availability of a podcast facility on YouTube Music. To that, music and spoken word go under one roof.
