Google Podcast service is going to be closed today. Even though they originally said it would happen in September 2023, they’ve changed the deadline to today. In such a situation, if your data is present on Google Podcasts, then you should transfer your data to YouTube Music right now. According to the report, Google is transferring its podcast to YouTube Music. You can keep using Google Podcasts in the US until March 2024, and you’ll have until July 2024 to move your membership.
How to transfer data to YouTube Music
- First of all, visit the Google Podcast app.
- Next, click on the “Export Subscription” option at the top of the screen.
- Then, choose the export option that you see under “Export to YouTube Music”.
- After this, you have to tap on the Continue option.
- After that, you need to choose the “Go to Library” option to see your subscription.
There are other options for transferring data
It will take a little while for your subscription to move over. Please note that not all podcasts will be available on YouTube Music. If this happens, you may see the message “Content is unavailable” next to it. You can also choose to move your subscription to a different podcast app. Just download an OPML file or use Google Takeout to transfer your data.
Google integrated the podcast-related feature into YouTube last year. In this case, the company is moving data from Google Podcasts to YouTube Music. This means users can listen to both music and podcasts in one app. You can still find the Google Podcasts app on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
