My Question or Issue

Hi!

I’m downloading my podcasts without video via the data saver setting but would like to have them showing or rather streaming when I’m on a WiFi.

I have only 64GB internal storage but tons of podcasts I’m regularly listening to wherever I go but due to the limited storage on my device and mobile data plan I could only watch the videos when I’m home and connected over a WiFi.

Is it possible to (optionally) stream the video of a downloaded podcast even though I selected the data saver setting to download podcast audio only?

When I delete a podcast locally and start it again, the video (and audio of course) starts streaming but this is a rather inconvenient way of handling this.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there @Annyx,

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

 

It isn't possible to watch video of downloaded podcasts, if you have the option Audio-only podcasts enabled in your app settings.
