Preset RSS News Apps

Show the latest stories from well-known news sources, such as BBC, CBS, NBC, Al Jazeera or France24, on your screens. 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 a News App

  1. Open the playlist, then click the layer. See Playlist Media Management.
  2. If the layer is empty, the content apps open. If it already has media, click Add New.
  3. Click News Apps, then choose a news source, for example BBC NEWS.
