Wix Mobile Apps: Adding a Podcast to Your Member Apps

Embed a podcast for your members to listen to on the go, directly from their member app. You can add a podcast player to an existing screen or create a dedicated screen for it.

Podcasts are pulled in to your site using an RSS link (Really Simple Syndication); a web feed that contains all the information needed to play your podcast. This allows members to access the podcast and its archives, and share episodes with others.

Before you begin:

Go to the settings section of your podcast hosting platform (for example, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud etc.) and copy the RSS link.
