Apple Podcasts Gets Video on Mac and Apple TV, Plus New Search Feature
Apple yesterday announced several improvements to Apple Podcasts, including video podcast playback on macOS and a fully redesigned tvOS app.
Mac users will gain a new, enhanced video podcast experience in Apple Podcasts, including Picture in Picture support for watching episodes while multitasking. The update brings the full mobile Apple Podcasts experience to the Mac, with audio and video content alongside transcripts, timed links, and chapters.
The Apple Podcasts app on tvOS is receiving a complete redesign with video podcast playback, a new sidebar navigation for easier browsing, and support for podcast creators' episode and show artwork. The update is aimed at making it simpler to discover and enjoy video content on the big screen.
Across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, as well as on the web at podcasts.apple.com, Apple is also adding a new search within show feature. The tool allows users to search directly within a show from its See All Episodes view, making it easier to locate a specific episode without scrolling through an entire back catalog.
The updates will arrive this fall as part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, visionOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, and tvOS 27.
