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.
