Distribution Overview

How VideoNest connects your video library to partner platforms automatically.

How distribution works

VideoNest uses feeds — MRSS and audio RSS — to deliver your content to partner platforms. You create a feed, choose a destination type, configure your settings, and VideoNest handles delivery automatically. There is no manual exporting or file transferring involved.

For the product overview, see the VideoNest video distribution platform.

Feed-based delivery

Every distribution channel in VideoNest is a feed. A feed is a structured data file that partner platforms read to pull your content on a schedule. You can have multiple feeds running simultaneously, each with a different destination, different filters, and different settings — for example, one feed for your CTV channel and another for a podcast directory.

Supported destination types

VideoNest supports distribution to the following categories of partners:

• CTV (Connected TV) — Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung TV+
• Podcast directories — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio
• News syndication — MSN, Yahoo News, Google News
• Digital signage — BrightSign, ScreenCloud, OptiSigns, and other platforms that accept MRSS or URL-based feeds
• Custom MRSS feeds — for any partner that accepts a standard MRSS format

For step-by-step setup, see Setting Up Partners.

Social media

Use the dashboard’s connected social accounts and available distribution destinations to publish to supported platforms. Dashboard distribution is separate from the public API, which does not expose a feed-publish or social-publish operation. See Social Distribution for setup instructions.
