TrueFans Launches Streaming Video Hosting for Podcasters, Expanding Podcasting 2.0 Capabilities
TrueFans today announced the launch of its new streaming video hosting service, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of Podcasting 2.0. The new offering enables podcasters to seamlessly upload and distribute video content without relying on proprietary platforms or APIs.
With this release, podcasters can now upload MP4 video files directly into their primary enclosure on TrueFans. The platform then efficiently delivers video content in 10-second segments, ensuring smooth playback across all apps that support video streaming.
TrueFans has already established support for HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) video via its Alternative Enclosure, and several Podcasting 2.0-compatible apps currently support HLS video playback—allowing creators to reach audiences across a growing decentralized ecosystem.
Unlike traditional video hosting platforms, TrueFans requires no proprietary API access, reinforcing its commitment to open standards and creator independence.
Flexible, Transparent Pricing
TrueFans Video hosting is priced at $30 per month for up to 1TB of streaming data. The platform introduces a creator-friendly model where:
Videos watched directly on TrueFans are not counted toward data usage Any unused data is returned as a credit to the podcaster’s wallet
Enhanced Analytics for Creators
Podcasters gain access to new “Watch Time” analytics within their TrueFans admin dashboard, providing deeper insight into audience engagement and video performance.
What’s Next
TrueFans also confirmed that live streaming capabilities are set to launch later this month, further expanding opportunities for real-time audience interaction.
