A Element is a configurable block of digital signage content that can be added to a Page. Different types of Elements have different purposes.

| RSS Feed | When an RSS Feed URL is specified, this element displays the RSS feed text contents on a Page. |
| HTML | Insert HTML content straight onto your Page. From simple things like text and headings, to <iframes> hosting interactive applications. |

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Elements
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Elements are used to specify an area on the Player's screen where the HDMI passthrough will be displayed. This is useful for displaying live TV or other HDMI sources on your digital signage.
Picture-in-Picture Elements will appear as blank rectangles in Page Previews and will always appear above any other Elements on a Page.
