Uscreen is designed primarily for video content, but we understand that audio is an essential part of many creators' offerings. Whether you're sharing podcasts, music, or spoken word content, this guide will help you effectively incorporate audio into your Uscreen platform.
Multiple Audio Tracks for Videos
For videos that need multiple language options or different background music, you can use our Multiple Audio Tracks feature. This allows members to switch between different audio tracks while watching the same video, similar to platforms like Netflix and YouTube.
