Managing Content Via MRSS Feed

MRSS or Media RSS is an extension of RSS and it is used to syndicate multimedia files (image, audio, video) in RSS feeds. By using the MRSS feed, you can easily share the content of your store in third party sites. Also, you can create content in your store by importing third-party MRSS feed.
