Podcast hosting company Podigee has launched video podcast support - for YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Video is available today across every podcast plan; the company says it makes them the first to support video podcast distribution to all three major platforms, across every pricing tier. Pricing starts at €19/month (US $22), for unlimited audio and four video episodes (of up to 30 minutes) per month. The company is based in Berlin, Germany.

Podigee tells Podnews that they're "still looking into the implications of adding the alternate enclosure feature", but long term they would like to support it. Support will add video to other, open podcast apps (either as an MP4 or HLS stream). Buzzsprout has also confirmed it is not yet supporting the alternateEnclosure.

RAIN reminds us that it's ten years since Spotify launched video shows.

Acast's Q1/26 financial report says the company has shown "strong profitable growth". Sales were up by 20% (26% in North America); the company made profit of SEK 4.7 (US $0.5mn), which is the company's first ever profitable first quarter.

Megaphone is switching to use Spotify Ad Server from mid July, allowing new formats of ads including video. Third-party serving via VAST is being removed entirely. As part of this transition, Megaphone has made a number of changes to its promotions booking tool, including limiting promotional audio files to a maximum of 60 seconds. Pre-booking on this new system starts on May 15.
