How to Submit Your Podcast on Deezer Manually

If you’re not hosting with Captivate, or prefer to submit your podcast manually, it only takes a few minutes!

Before submitting, you’ll need to make sure that your RSS feed is valid and meets Deezer’s industry-standard specifications, which is the same for any directory:

  • RSS feed address
  • Bitrate quality: 128 kbps (recommended)
  • File format: MP3, flac & wav (M4A is not recommended, if one episode has this format your podcast may be disabled)
  • Artwork: upload a square cover image, PNG, 1400×1400 pixels
  • At least one episode in the feed

1. Grab your RSS feed URL

In your Captivate or podcast hosting dashboard, click Copy RSS Feed at the top of the page to copy the link to your clipboard.

2. Fill out the submission form

Head to Deezer Podcasters and click Publish My Podcast to start the submission form. First, paste in your RSS feed URL to verify it. Check the feed over to make sure its correct and follow the rest of the prompts. At the end, hit Submit and you’re done!
