This article assumes you have already created a top or bottom loop. Please see the tutorials on how to create a top loop or how to create a bottom loop if you have not.


Start by signing into your account on ViewMedica.com. If you don’t remember how to sign in, see our logging in tutorial.

  1. From your Dashboard, click the "VMcast Control Center" link.

  2. Click the "Edit Stream" button next to the stream you want to edit. You will see all four areas of your stream’s TV screen.

  3. Click "Change" and "Edit this Loop" in the top or bottom frame depending on where you want the RSS feed to display.

  4. Click the “Add Slides” button. Select “Create Slide” from the dropdown.

  5. Select the template to create an “RSS Feed” slide.

  6. Enter a title. This title will be seen on your TV screen. Use words like "SPORTS," "BUSINESS," "NEWS," or what best describes your source.

  7. Enter the RSS feed URL. If you need help finding an RSS feed, see our tutorial on how to find an RSS feed.

  8. Click the “Preview” button to make sure the RSS feed works. You should see a list of the current RSS feed items.

  9. Click the “Save” button. The RSS feed slide will now show in your loop.

  10. Grab the new slide and drag it to the position where you want it play in your loop.

To display more than one RSS feed, simply add another RSS feed slide.
