FAQ
Publishing recorded meetings as podcasts on AsyncAPI
This document covers FAQs on publishing recorded AsyncAPI meetings as podcasts. It is intended to guide any AsyncAPI member who has the rights/access to stream and record meetings; on how to publish the recorded meetings as podcasts. For more information on streaming and recording meetings, check the Meetings-Organization document.
Why do we need this feature?
-
Some people prefer to listen to the video/livestream as an audio (podcast) instead of watching the video.
-
The goal is to upload our AsyncAPI video/live streams on
Spotify For Podcasters, ultimately allowing the listener to play the episodes on Spotify. Almost every YouTube video can be converted into a podcast.
Who can upload the videos?
- Anyone with write access to the
asyncapi/communityrepository’smasterbranch.
What is needed?
- The YouTube video ID.
Remember
What is YouTube video ID?
The video ID is an 11-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a YouTube video.
ID is usually the last part of the URL after v= or separated by a forward slash (/):
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
- https://www.youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID
- https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID
You may also find URLs with a video in a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&list=PLAYLIST_ID
Here, video ID is located between ?v= and &list= URL parameters.
This workflow accepts only the YouTube video ID, not a full URL or playlist. You need to extract the VIDEO_ID and provide it as an input.
