Scope and limitations

  • Feed content: Headlines come directly from the external RSS publisher. The widget cannot edit or filter individual feed items.
  • Internal messages: To display your own custom messages instead of an external RSS feed, publish an announcement in Broadcast and use the Announcements widget.
  • Visual styling: Font size, color theme, and widget background are controlled by the signage design. For details, see Widgets and the places they go.
