Substack now lets creators publish and monetize videos directly from the mobile app

Substack has introduced a new feature allowing writers and creators to publish video posts directly from the Substack app, enhancing the platform's mobile capabilities. This update enables creators to upload, publish, and monetize videos from their phones for the first time, expanding beyond the previous desktop-only option. Video posts are delivered instantly to subscribers via email and app notifications, facilitating direct audience engagement.

The subscription model on Substack enhances the reach of video content, allowing creators to share their work across the network and attract new subscribers. Substack is planning future enhancements to further empower video publishing, with potential features including trimming and editing tools, free preview options, enhanced analytics, and improved playback controls.
