How to Subscribe to RSS Feeds for MP4 Viewing Overview Panopto makes MP4 (audio) and MP4 (audio and video) versions of every recording available through podcasts and RSS feeds. By subscribing to the feed, the podcast from each new recording in a folder will automatically be downloaded. The downloaded content can then be listened to or viewed using any device capable of playing back MP4 files. Prerequisites Creator access to Panopto Note: Bulk downloading through an RSS feed is possible through some browsers, such as Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, as well as third-party RSS readers. Please refer to the user guide from your preferred browser or third-party reader, as guidance may vary. 1. Obtaining the Podcast Feed 1.1. In the folder from which you would like to subscribe to the podcasts, select the Subscribe button from the upper right corner (Fig. 1a). Figure 1a 1.1.a. If this option does not appear, select the Settings icon (Fig. 1b). On the Settings tab, select the checkbox next to Enable podcast feed (Fig. 1c). Once you have done this, reload the page to see the Subscribe button referenced in 1.1. Note: If you do not see this option available in the folder settings, please talk to your administrator about enabling RSS feeds and take a look at this documentation for Control RSS Feed Availability. Figure 1b Figure 1c 1.2. From the drop-down menu that appears, select the subscription feed you want to use. The drop-down menu will appear differently depending on your machine: Mac computers with macOS Catalina (10.15 and above versions) will reflect the ability to subscribe to Apple Podcasts, and RSS feeds (Fig. 2a). Windows machines, as well as Mac machines running macOS Mojave (10.14 and previous versions), will see iTunes and RSS feeds (Fig. 2b). Figure 2a Figure 2b 1.3.
