Using RSS Feed in Audio Library to Improve Audience Engagement 

What is it & why you need it 

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a powerful way to receive updates from websites in a single feed. RSS feeds are a convenient way to stay informed about your favorite websites or content without requiring you to manually check each site for new content.


Previously, you had the option to add an RSS feed URL for your site’s blog. With the latest update, EzyCourse is now adding an RSS feed feature to the audio library


Thus, it will make it simple for your users to subscribe and get your most recent audio content. This feature makes sure your audience never misses an update, whether you are sharing lessons, podcasts, or any other audio content. 



How it works

When you publish new audio content in your audio library, the RSS feed will automatically update with the latest releases. Your users can subscribe to the RSS feed from the link you shared. It's a great way for you to keep your audience up-to-date and engaged with your audio content.

How to get started using it

To enable this feature, you have to configure the settings first. 

Step 1: Go to your EzyCourse dashboard. Navigate to the Site Settings > General Settings > Site Information.
