# Add contributors

Add the people who take part in a podcast so you can assign them to episodes and the player.

Use this task to maintain the list of people who take part in your podcast, for example hosts and regular guests. You assign contributors to episodes, use them as speakers in the transcript editor, and the web player shows them.

## Before you start

* You must be the owner of the podcast. Organization members do not see the contributor list.
* Prepare the name of each person. Optional: prepare an avatar image for each person.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Classic view" %}

### Complete the task

1. Open the podcast and select the **Team** tab.
2. Go to **Contributors** ("People who participate in this podcast").
3. Select **Add a contributor**.
4. Enter the **Name**. If you leave the name empty, Podigee names the entry "New Contributor" with a number.
5. Under **Avatar**, select **Upload** and choose the image.
6. Save.

The Contributors section on the Team tab starts with the button Add a contributor.

To change or remove a contributor, use the **Action** column of the entry.

### Expected result

The table lists the contributor with name and avatar, sorted by name, 20 entries per page. The episode tab for contributors offers the person for selection. You can use a contributor that is part of an episode in the transcript editor. The contributor also appears in the Podigee web player.

### If you cannot complete the task

* The **Team** tab is missing: you are not the podcast owner. Organization members cannot manage contributors.
* The contributor is missing in the episode: the episode tab shows "You need to add contributors to the podcast in order to select them here." Add the person in the **Team** tab first.
* When you clone a podcast, Podigee does not copy the contributors. Add them again in the clone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/add-contributors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
