Podbean Now Uses HTML5!

Posted by news on October 12th, 2010

Great news for all of our Podbean members who want to listen to or watch their podcasts directly from Podbean on a browser that doesn't support Flash, including the iPhone or iPad! We have just added an HTML5 web player to Podbean, so you can now take your podcasts on the go! HTML5 allows multiple formats to be used for a video, so your browser can just pick the one that works and play your media with no third party add-ins, like Adobe Flash. For those of you who are less into the technical side, basically what this means is that when you try to play media from the main Podbean site on your iPhone and iPad, it will actually work instead of showing you the little puzzle piece. Forget to download the most recent episode of your favorite podcast? No problem, now you can access it directly from Podbean's mobile site! This update applies to all of Podbean, so your individual pages will also have HTML5 players! This means you can listen to a podcast from the main Podbean site, or a user's individual site, without any extra browser plug-ins! So get on your iPhone or iPad now and bookmark www.podbean.com and all of your favorite Podbean sites! Check out the screenshot below:
