You put in the amount you wish to pay. We tell
you what you might pay in full based on the time
of the episode, but you only pay based on the
amount of time you actually listen. Welcome to
Fan Zone, your bite -size guide to getting the
most out of the True Fans podcast app. In each
episode, we'll discuss an aspect of the app and
hopefully answer any questions you may have about
it. Plus, when you listen to fan zone in TrueFans,
you can earn as you listen and use your earnings
to support your favourite podcasters. I'm Claire
Waite -Brown, independent podcaster and all -round
podcast enthusiast. And I'm Sam Setty, the CEO
and founder of TrueFans. We have been... Going
through the icons that are underneath the play
button explaining the lovely extra things we
can do using those icons and this is in the episode
screen so when you're listening to one particular
episode and it's relevant to that episode. The
penultimate icon under the play button may well
be a currency symbol in a circle or it may well
be a flibbly s symbol, which Sam will explain
for us. The currency symbol obviously relates
to money. What happens when I click on this icon,
Sam? So the first thing is the icon will show
your local currency, so pounds, dollars, euros,
and that's based on your user settings. Or if
you remember, you can change that currency from
your local fiat currency to Xat. So the Satoshi
symbol. Hi there. Sam and I have spoken about
fiat currency and sats in the episode entitled
Why a wallet? So if you're not quite sure what
we're talking about here, then simply head back
to that episode either because you haven't listened
to it or perhaps just for a little bit of revision.
So you'll see one of those two symbols. But when
you click on that icon, it'll bring a pop -up
and that pop -up will then allow you to put an
amount that you want to pay per minute. So you
might want to pay 10p per minute or 1p per minute,
or you might want to pay $1 or you might want
to pay 100 sats. Depending on what you've chosen,
you can put it in that field. The next field
down though, lets you know based on the length
of the episode in total. how much you might pay
if you listen to the whole of that episode. If
it was 100 sats per minute and it was a one hour
episode that would say 6000 sats then click pay
and that's what you're willing to pay to that
creator. Now of course it's a pay as you go system
so we track your usage of listening as you listen
and so if you only listen to 10 minutes of that
one hour show we only take 10 minutes worth of
sats or 1000 sats. And that's the way the system
works. It's basically you put in the amount you
wish to pay. We tell you what you might pay in
full based on the time of the episode, but you
only pay based on the amount of time you actually
listen. To set a default amount of currency or
number of sats you want to stream per minute
on every show you listen to, click on your avatar,
then settings. Scroll down to the Wallet section
and type in the amount in the box labeled Play.
To set a default amount that you always want
to stream to a particular show, go to the Show
screen and click on the Info icon. Scroll down
to Default Podcast Values. and key in the amount,
again in the box labelled play. Sam explained
how to do both of these for likes as opposed
to streams in the heart icon episode. Thanks
so much for listening. There are lots more episodes
of Fan Zone for you to get stuck into and that
show you how to make the most of the fab features
that this forward -looking podcast app has to
offer podcast listeners and creators alike. We'd
love to hear from you. You can send us a comment
on True Fans, more about that in the Fan Zone
episode on comments, or email support at truefans
