Substack's new video tool makes it easier to create clips
Substack just launched Recording Studio, a desktop tool that lets you record solo videos or chat with up to two guests, all without juggling extra apps.
It rolls recording, clip-making, and thumbnail design into one place, making content creation easier for Substack creators.
Tool aims to boost your revenue
You get handy features like custom watermarks, co-host screen sharing, and automatic clips and thumbnails: no editing headaches.
Substack says creators who have used audio or video in the past 90 days have seen their revenue grow 50% faster than creators who haven't used audio or video in the past 90 days.
More video options
Recording Studio follows recent upgrades like livestreaming (video) rolled out in 2025.
It's clear Substack wants to help creators mix things up beyond newsletters as more people look for podcasts and videos.
Substack now has a TV app
Substack also dropped a TV app for Apple TV and Google TV so you can watch videos or get smart recommendations from your couch.
With YouTube clocking 700 million podcast hours a month on TVs last year (up from 400 million), it's obvious podcasts are now living room favorites.
