Managing a Web Feed

Managing Web Feeds

1. In the Content menu, select the web feed you want to manage. The Web Feed content manager window opens.
   
   
   
   In this example, we'll manage a Weather web feed.
2. Beam automatically creates a title based on the type of web feed you created. If you'd like to change it, enter a new title in the Name field.
3. Select the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the window to open the Settings drawer.
   
   
   
   The Settings drawer is where you can edit and manage settings such as transition effects and duration.
   
   
   
   
4. In the Duration field, enter how long you want each post or slide to be displayed. The duration defaults to 10 seconds.
5. Next, select a transition for the slide from the Transition list. When you select a transition, you can see a preview of the effect in the Web Feed window.
6. Edit the location, aspect ratio, weather category, and temperature format as needed.
7. Select the Back arrow to save your changes and close the Settings drawer.
8. Select Publish to make your web feed available to publish directly to your displays or to insert into a playlist or program.
   
   
   
   
   Note: The specific settings will differ slightly depending on the type of web feed you're managing.

Next Steps
