Podcasters wanting to simplify the Facebook publishing process can relax. Podbean.com offers a free and easy way to publish and manage all of your podcast projects. To get started, just log in and choose “Manage” from your Dashboard. You’ll see a sub-tab called “Embeddable Player.

Click the link that says “Click here to share on Facebook” and you’ll see your Facebook login. Sign in to your Facebook account and you’ll see the following Podcast Player set up screen:

You can choose a black or white skin and preview it by clicking “Get Player”. Once you’ve chosen your skin, click “Show this player in Profile” at the bottom of the set up screen.

You should then see your Facebook profile page with your Podcast Player embedded. It may take a few hours for your podcast to show up so don’t worry if you can’t see it right away. The Podbean podcast player also comes with an “Embed Once, Use Forever” feature that means you don’t have to install new players to display new podcasts. Instead, your embedded player will automatically update when you add or change your podcast selections.

Want to publicize your podcasts?

Click the “Share” button at top right of the player and you can share your new Podbean podcast to your Facebook friends right away.

Just plug in your friend’s name or email address and viola! You’ve just publicized your podcast! There’s also a link to post your player on a friend’s wall. Your Podcast Player also comes with a “subscribe” feature so your friends and family will always know the minute you add a new podcast episode.

To get the embed code of your Podcast Player, you simply click “Manage” tab, then “Embeddable Player” sub-tab. Select the color and size of the player and click “Get Embed Button”.

To get the embed code of the Podcast Player for a single episode, you click “Manage” tab, then “Posts” sub-tab, click the “embed code” button at right side of the post.

Because the full screen uses javascript but some sites(ex:myspace) may block it for security purpose.

Yes. Just select your own image when publish. If not, we’ll generate it for you.

The video may not be well encoded when you create it, so please check your settings.

After you have a new publish, we may do some backend works for you such as encode for flash player, generate thumbnail and regenerate the playlist etc, which may take up to 24 hours.

It’s simple to display podcasts to your own blogs, websites, social networks etc. All you need to do is the following:

1. Upload your media file (audio, video, pdf etc.) into your Podbean account by clicking on the “Upload” tab situated in your Podbean account “Dashboard” menu.

2. Publish your media file into a podcast post by click “Publish” tab and select the media file from the drop down list.

3. Once published your post, click “Manage” tab, then click the “embed code” button situated on the right side of the podcast that you wish to embed into your blog. This will generate html embed code for you to copy & paste into your own website.

Then click on the plus sign located to the right of either “Show HTML Code using audio flash player in grey” or “Show HTML Code using text link” and copy and paste this code to your own sites.

It is done. Your podcast now is ready to show.
