MRSS Video Source Configuration

Configure and manage MRSS feeds as video sources in the AnyClip Platform alongside existing integrations

Updated over a month ago

Overview

The AnyClip Platform enables Account Administrators to configure and manage video sources that feed content into their accounts. Alongside existing supported integrations such as Zoom, Instagram, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Stream, the platform now supports video ingestion via MRSS (Media RSS) sources.

An MRSS Source provides a standardized way to syndicate and fetch multimedia content from external RSS feeds. By defining source attributes, administrators instruct the platform where to pull new videos from, how to categorize them, and how they should be processed and presented within the system.

Functionality

With this feature, Account Administrators can:

  • Add, edit, and remove MRSS-based video sources.

  • Configure video source attributes that define ingestion behavior.

  • Automate content synchronization on a defined schedule.

  • Apply access control and categorization policies to imported content.

MRSS Source Attributes

When configuring an MRSS video source, the following parameters are available:

  1. Display Name

    • A human-readable name for the source.

    • Used for identification within the account.

  2. URL

    • The web address of the MRSS feed.

    • The system fetches video entries from this endpoint.

  3. Language
