Add RSS ticker to digital signage
RSS feeds transform static screens into dynamic information channels. Lobbies use them to display industry updates, cafeterias show nutrition news, and retail spaces feature product releases. Implementation takes seconds - paste your RSS URL, adjust display timing, and customize colors to match your environment. The app automatically refreshes content as new items are published to the feed, eliminating the need for manual updates. The versatile display options allow for full-screen presentations or integration as scrolling tickers alongside other content elements, making it ideal for multi-purpose screens.

FAQ
What types of RSS feeds work best with this app?
Any standard RSS feed will function properly. Organizations typically implement feeds relevant to their audience and environment - financial firms display market updates, educational institutions show campus news, healthcare facilities present health tips, and retailers feature product announcements. The most effective implementations maintain content relevance to the viewing context, whether using public feeds from established sources or private feeds from your own content management system.
Can I control how quickly the content changes on screen?
Yes. The "Next Post Delay" setting lets you determine how long each item displays before transitioning to the next headline. This timing control allows for customization based on viewing conditions—shorter delays (5-10 seconds) for high-traffic areas where viewers spend minimal time, and longer delays (15-30 seconds) for waiting areas where audiences can engage with more detailed content.
Is it possible to display the RSS feed as a scrolling ticker?
Absolutely. The app offers a scrolling ticker option that's particularly effective when integrated within multi-zone layouts. Many organizations position the ticker along the bottom of their screens while displaying other content above it. This approach maximizes screen utility by presenting multiple information streams simultaneously - primary content remains visible while the ticker provides supplementary updates without interrupting the main message.
How can I ensure my RSS feed presentation remains visually consistent with our branding?
The app provides some visual customization. You can select specific text and background colors to match your brand palette, adjust transparency levels to overlay feeds on existing content, and control text direction for international implementations. Organizations with strict brand guidelines particularly value these features for maintaining consistent visual identity across all customer-facing communications.
