VideoNest provides the infrastructure required to distribute video content to MSN through a compliant MRSS feed.

Once connected, VideoNest manages feed generation, metadata formatting, and continuous updates so your content is always ready for MSN distribution. Your video library remains centralized in VideoNest while MSN renders and delivers your videos across its network, including Microsoft Start and MSN properties.

MSN Partnership Requirement

A direct publishing agreement with Microsoft is required.

To distribute content to MSN, you must already be an approved Microsoft Start or MSN syndication partner. VideoNest supplies the compliant MRSS feed and technical delivery required by Microsoft, but does not facilitate new partnerships.

How the VideoNest MSN MRSS Feed Works

After enabling the MSN integration, VideoNest generates a validated MRSS feed structured to Microsoft’s technical requirements.

The feed is built directly from your VideoNest library and updates continuously as content changes.

What VideoNest manages

  • Automatic feed generation
    Every new upload or update in your VideoNest library is reflected in the MSN MRSS feed.
  • Metadata compliance
    Titles, descriptions, thumbnails, categories, and tags are formatted to MSN specifications.
  • Continuous refresh
    The feed updates in real time to support consistent distribution without manual publishing work.

Publishing Automation Controls

VideoNest gives you control over how content is distributed to MSN.

You can automate delivery across your full library or curate feeds based on editorial or programming needs.

Publishing options

  • Selective publishing
    Include videos based on tags, playlists, or categories.
  • Firehose distribution
    Automatically syndicate all new uploads to MSN as soon as they are published.

All controls live inside your VideoNest workspace and apply consistently across your feed.

Already an MSN Partner?

Go live immediately by generating your MSN MRSS feed from a VideoNest Business plan or higher.
