External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services. All share-button connections are user-initiated — no data is transmitted to any third-party server at page load. Data is only sent when a visitor actively clicks a share button, at which point their browser navigates to the service URL.

Facebook

This plugin generates share links that allow visitors to share podcast episodes on Facebook via the Facebook Share dialog.

Data sent: The episode page URL is passed as a query parameter in the share link.
When: Only when a visitor clicks the Facebook share button.

Twitter / X

Remote RSS Feeds

When importing or refreshing podcasts, this plugin fetches the remote RSS feed URL provided by the site administrator. This sends an HTTP GET request directly to the RSS feed’s host server.

When: When a site administrator triggers an import or sync from the plugin’s import screen.

Coming Soon

We are actively working on the next generation of AiO Podcast Studio. Here is what is planned for the upcoming release:

Podcasting 2.0 Support

The Podcasting 2.0 initiative (podcast: namespace) extends the standard RSS format with richer metadata. The next release will import and integrate these elements automatically when you sync your podcast feed:

Transcripts — Import per-episode transcript URLs and types from <podcast:transcript> tags.
Chapters — Import chapter file URLs from <podcast:chapters> tags.
Hosts & Guests — Import hosts and guests with roles and images from <podcast:person> tags.
Feed Lock — Respect the <podcast:locked> flag during feed migration.
Stable Feed GUID — Store the permanent feed identifier from <podcast:guid>.

If you import a podcast today and your feed already uses these tags, simply re-sync your podcast after upgrading to pull in the new fields — no manual data entry required.
