# RSS Ticker App

Use the RSS Ticker app to scroll the latest headlines from any RSS feed along a strip of the screen, for example news, blog posts or company announcements. The ticker keeps itself up to date from the feed.

_Note: Text tickers are only offered for the ticker layer of a built-in layout, for example the 1920 x 120 bottom layer of **Layout 3**. They are not offered once you resize the layer with **Edit Layout**._

## How to Add an RSS Ticker

1.  Open the playlist, then click the ticker layer. See [Playlist Media Management](https://easysignage.com/help/playlists/digital-signage-media/) .
2.  If the layer is empty, the content apps open. If it already has media, click **Add New**.
3.  Click **Text Tickers**, then **RSS Ticker**.

4.  In **RSS URL**, replace the sample feed with the address of your RSS feed.
5.  Set the other options:
    -   **Color**: the text color
    -   **Background Color**: the color of the ticker strip
    -   **Stories Count**: how many headlines to show, from 1 to 20 (5 by default)
    -   **Speed**: from 2 (slowest) to 10 (fastest)
    -   **Scroll Direction**: tick **Right to left** to change the direction the text scrolls
6.  Click **Save**.

7.  Click **Publish changes of this playlist** to send the ticker to your screens.

_**Text Tickers** also has ready-made news tickers, such as **9 News** and **BBC NEWS**. They have the same options, but you choose the feed from a list instead of typing a URL._

_To show your own messages instead of a feed, use the [Custom Ticker](https://easysignage.com/help/apps/digital-signage-custom-ticker/) ._
