Why Podcasts Dominate Short-Form Feeds
Podcast clips are among the highest-performing content formats on social media. Intriguing dialogue, controversial debates, and expert advice naturally stop users from scrolling.
However, video podcasts recorded horizontally (16:9) with two or more hosts require intelligent face tracking to switch between speakers as they talk.
