I'm pretty excited about the new Help Center here on Screencast.com. The new format makes browsing for information simple and the addition of longer tutorials means that we can provide you the information to get the most out of Screencast.com. Here's an example of the kind of tutorial you'll find in the revamped Screencast.com Help Center.

RSS/iTunes Overview

RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with changes to your content on Screencast.com.

Screencast.com can generate feeds for any of your public folders and public or hidden playlists. Point your viewers to the RSS or iTunes feed on the folder or playlist page, and they can subscribe.

Viewers can use Outlook 2007, iTunes, or any RSS reader.

iTunes

iTunes is a digital media player application, from Apple Inc. for playing and organizing digital music and video files.

The two iTunes feed options represent different ways of adding RSS feeds to your iTunes application. The 1 Click button will launch the iTunes application and automatically adds the RSS feed to the Podcasts list in your Library. The iTunes button takes you to the URL of your Screencast.com iTunes feed. You can then enter that URL in iTunes (under "Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast") in order to add that RSS feed manually.

How do I turn on RSS for my content?

You can turn on the RSS feeds for public folders and public or hidden playlists.

1. Mouse-over a folder or playlist and click Edit.
2. Check the boxes next to RSS or iTunes to enable or disable those buttons for this folder/playlist.



3. Then your viewers will see this in the View page:
   
   

When they subscribe, they get an update in their reader or iTunes every time you add content to the folder or playlist.
