YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok accept video files only. A cover image with the sound behind it is the simplest way to publish an episode or a track there.
A still image gives a viewer no sign that anything is playing, and people scroll past. The moving waveform shows that there is sound before anyone turns it on. For clips of a conversation, real video of the speakers with captions holds attention far better than any still.
Use an image at least as large as the frame: 1920 × 1080 for landscape, 1080 × 1080 for square, 1080 × 1920 for vertical. A smaller image is scaled up and looks soft. If the shapes differ, choose bars, a blurred background, or fill and crop.
Up to 10 minutes and 100 MB. For a full episode, most podcast hosts can publish to YouTube for you.
