Test show

Justin Jackson: 00:00

Right.

Justin Jackson: 00:03

Alright. Signing up for a new account on staging. Gonna configure a new podcast. Test. Oh, yeah.

Justin Jackson: 00:30

Just leave that for now. Okay. So I need to where is that thread? See what it should do for video. Yeah.

Justin Jackson: 01:05

I'm gonna need to add artwork. Alright. So you need to have at least one episode added. That's one weird part about this onboarding for video shows still, but because you can't really upload your video episode until you've uploaded an audio episode. Alright, so now Distribution Okay.

Justin Jackson: 01:50

This seems not right.

Justin Jackson: 01:58

Aren't I on the starter plan? Yeah. It feels like I shouldn't see this. This says requires professional planner above, but that yeah. Okay.

Justin Jackson: 02:21

I'll just mention that now. Alright. So let's upgrade now. Okay.

Justin Jackson: 02:47

Upgrade to the $49 plan.

Justin Jackson: 02:52

Okay. So now I'm going to connect to YouTube.

Justin Jackson: 03:11

Okay. So now

Justin Jackson: 03:17

let's choose that. Choose this. Yeah. So should I enable

Justin Jackson: 03:48

Well, this is weird though because I don't think

Justin Jackson: 04:03

I don't think this account has

Justin Jackson: 04:09

video enabled yet. Yeah. I hadn't enabled video publishing yet, but it looks like it's all ready live.

Justin Jackson: 04:29

Like, I think I can do all of this without, enabling the video publishing flag. Let's let's just keep trying here.

Justin Jackson: 04:48

So let's go here. Add that. Save.

Justin Jackson: 04:59

Click on that even though oh, I guess that will send it to YouTube. Alright. So let's save that. Okay. So I've got that connected, And let's I think this works for video.

Justin Jackson: 05:22

Right? It would be nice to give people some sort of like flag here that video is enabled on the show. Just a reminder, some sort of little flag or something that says videos enabled on this. Okay. Video test.

Justin Jackson: 05:45

Let's try uploading a video. I think I got one somewhere. Sure. Let's do this one. K.

Justin Jackson: 05:59

And give it some show notes. And let's add a thumbnail. Okay. Sure. Let's publish this right now and see what happens.

Justin Jackson: 06:16

Yeah. So it looks like even though it's not been enabled here, it looks like it's already kind of on. K. So yeah. Now it's

Justin Jackson: 06:41

published to YouTube.

Justin Jackson: 06:45

So another thing is that when we go through those, that checklist, it's sometimes, it's not

Justin Jackson: 06:50

clear if I have to

Justin Jackson: 06:50

go back down and click save again. So we can view the YouTube video. Okay. And

Justin Jackson: 07:05

is this not a podcast checklist? Okay. Looks like it hasn't uploaded the previous episode yet.

Justin Jackson: 07:18

Like, do I have to manually do that? Because I initiated posting to all previous episodes. It's not clear if this is in process. Like, I think as a user, I'd probably go in here and go, oh, like, it hasn't been done yet. So I'm gonna click oh, there it is.

Justin Jackson: 07:48

Now it's working. Yeah. We might need a little bit more visibility into that. Okay. So if we refresh this and

Justin Jackson: 08:00

now I've got this one right. It's probably just processing on there. K.

Justin Jackson: 08:14

Okay. So to summarize, a few things that we need to fix. One is that yeah, there's no when you're on the starter plan, this part isn't gated. We need to actually have you know, they need to be able to, like

Justin Jackson: 08:29

at least for the time being, say, you have to request, you have

Justin Jackson: 08:35

to request, you know, upgrade your plan. That was one. Second thing is yeah. This part here, I think we can probably make it a little clearer. The the weird part is is like, it's gonna start doing this.

Justin Jackson: 08:59

It'd be nice to have on these episodes a flag or something that says, hey, like, this is marked to be uploaded. We haven't got to it yet, but it's gonna happen soon. Because I almost clicked that post to YouTube button.

Justin Jackson: 09:17

Trying to think if there's anything else that

Justin Jackson: 09:24

I noticed, but I think yeah. I think this seems pretty good. There's also just like you you still have to upload an audio episode first before you can see distribution. So I think showing video distribution settings before they upload their first episode might be a good idea as well.
