# Publishing and distribution

Submit to directories, publish to YouTube and Facebook, embed the player, and manage private feeds.

Use this section after your first episode is live. It covers everything between Podigee and the places where listeners find your podcast. These are the RSS feed, the podcast directories, video and social platforms, the web player, private feeds, comments, and notifications.

## Start here

* [Publish your podcast to directories](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/publish-your-podcast-to-directories.md): submit to Apple Podcasts and Spotify from the **Exports** tab.
* [Understand your RSS feed](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/understand-your-rss-feed.md): what the feed contains and how platforms learn about a new episode.

## Directories and platforms

* [Submit to Apple Podcasts](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/submit-to-apple-podcasts.md)
* [Submit to Spotify](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/submit-to-spotify.md)
* [Submit to Deezer, Listen Notes, and Amazon Music](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/submit-to-deezer-listen-notes-and-amazon.md)
* [Submit to directories manually](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/submit-to-directories-manually.md)
* [Publish video episodes to YouTube](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/publish-video-episodes-to-youtube.md)
* [Post new episodes to Facebook](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/post-new-episodes-to-facebook.md)

Automated submissions and platform connections need a paid plan on the account of the podcast owner. The free Launch plan does not include them.

## Player and website

* [Embed the player on your website](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/embed-the-player-on-your-website.md)
* [Moderate comments](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/moderate-comments.md)

## Private podcasts

* [Restrict a podcast to invited listeners](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/restrict-a-podcast-to-invited-listeners.md)
* [Set up Spotify Open Access](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/set-up-spotify-open-access.md)

## Notifications

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/publishing-and-distribution.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.
