RSS News App

Show the latest stories from any RSS feed on your screens, for example your own news, a blog or a public news site. Each story shows its headline, description and image, and new stories appear by themselves.

Note: News Apps are offered on most layers of the built-in layouts, but not on video walls or on a layer you have resized.

 

How to Add an RSS Feed

  1. Copy the address of the RSS feed.
  2. Open the playlist, then click the layer. See Playlist Media Management .
  3. If the layer is empty, the content apps open. If it already has media, click Add New.
  4. Click News Apps, then RSS.
