Anchor launches a video conference-to-podcast conversion tool

Podcast recording and distribution platform Anchor has launched a new feature enabling users to convert video conference recordings into podcast episodes, the Spotify-owned company announced Tuesday.

Why we care

Being able to turn a video conference call into a podcast episode can be a viable way to get more out of the content you’re already creating — especially for companies that have moved their in-person conferences online.

This could be accomplished through other means as well, but for businesses that are tight on resources, Anchor is a free option that takes care of the audio conversion and can also host and distribute your podcast content.

More on the announcement

• Content creators can upload .mp4 and .mov files for Anchor to convert to audio. It does not directly integrate with video conferencing platforms.
• Converted audio will appear as segments in Anchor’s episode builder, where content creators can edit them, add background music, sound effects and so on.
• Spotify purchased Anchor in February 2019.
