What is the MediaRoll?

| | Comments (0)

A MediaRoll is an embedded widget that uses an RSS feed to display the contents of a folder or playlist on your webpage or blog. Anytime you add to the folder or playlist, the MediaRoll updates. It's easy to create a MediaRoll - just copy the Screencast.com generated code to and paste it into your blog or webpage.

The MediaRoll will look and behave differently depending on if you are using a folder or playlist. The following short overviews explain the differences.

Playlist MediaRoll Overview

  • Use a playlist to share a collection of content gathered from different folders of your library.
  • You can add a piece of content to multiple playlists.
  • When sharing a playlist, you share all the content in the playlist.
  • Embed public and hidden playlists on your own Web page or blog using the Screencast.com MediaRoll.

Folder MediaRoll Overview

Folders act just like folders on your desktop; you place content inside a folder to group files together in one place.

  • You can only add a piece of content to one folder at a time.
  • When sharing a folder, you share all the content in the folder.
  • Embed public folders on your own Web page or blog using the Screencast.com MediaRoll.
