 ### What do I need to schedule a meeting?
 
 To schedule a meeting, you need to be:
-- one of the licensed Zoom users associated with the AsyncAPI Zoom account. It is required because only licensed users can start meeting, live transcripts, and streaming.
+- one of the licensed Zoom users associated with the AsyncAPI Zoom account. It is required because only licensed users can start meetings, live transcripts, and streaming.
 - GitHub Action workflow for `Ad Hoc` meeting scheduling should be updated. Newly licensed users should be added as alternative hosts.
-- a member of [GitHub team called meetings-organizars](https://github.com/orgs/asyncapi/teams/meetings-organizers). It is required because only maintainers of the given repository can manually trigger GitHub Actions workflows. This group has a `Maintain` role in the `community` repository where meeting automation is implemented.
-- a member of a team in the AsyncAPI Restream account. It is required because hosts must log in to Restream before they start streaming the meeting from Zoom and modify the stream's title that will show up on social platforms.
-- a member of the AsyncAPI YouTube account. It is required because after the meeting is over, hosts need to add live their stream recording to the proper YouTube Playlist to improve recording discoverability.

+## How do I publish broadcasted meetings as podcasts?
+
+### Why do we need this feature?
+
+- Some people prefer to listen to the video/livestream as an audio (podcast) instead of watching the video.
+
+- The goal is to upload our AsyncAPI video/live streams on `Spotify For Podcasters` platform, ultimately allowing the listener to play the episodes on Spotify. Almost every YouTube video can be converted into a podcast.
+
+
+### Who can upload the videos?
+
+- The workflow can only be triggered by a person with write access to the `master` branch of the `asyncapi/community` repository.
+
+### What is needed?
+
+- The YouTube video ID is needed to trigger the workflow.
+
+### What is YouTube video ID?
+
+- A YouTube video ID is a unique combination of characters that identifies a specific video on the YouTube platform. It's used in the URL of the video to direct users to the exact video they want to watch. The video ID is typically a sequence of letters, numbers, and special characters that generally comes after the "v=" parameter in the URL.
+- [More examples](#list-of-different-types-of-youtube-links) of video ID are given below: ⬇️
+
+#### How to find YouTube ID?
+
+Let's take this video link, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rg_7hIb9PQ.
+
+Here the video ID is the word/entity after `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=`, i.e., `3rg_7hIb9PQ`
