RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is the long-established XML-based standard for publishing and consuming feeds of regularly updated content — news headlines, blog posts, podcasts, government notices, transit alerts. In digital signage, RSS remains the lowest-friction way to bring a continuous stream of external content onto displays.

In Livesignage, RSS feeds are configured as a standard data source in the no-code editor: paste the feed URL, choose how many items to display, configure refresh frequency, and the feed appears on every assigned playlist or composite zone. RSS is one of several data sources the platform supports alongside JSON, REST APIs, Google Sheets, and custom feeds.

Use Cases

RSS-driven content on digital signage:

- Corporate: internal news from Confluence or SharePoint, industry headlines from trade publications.
- Public spaces and transit: news, weather, traffic, transit alerts.
- Education and culture: institutional news, event calendars, library notices.
- Healthcare: waiting room news and information feeds.
- Hospitality: local events, news, weather feeds for guest information.
