A feed is the content you build from your connected sources. A source brings content into EmbedSocial. A feed is what you shape from it and put on your website, which is why the app calls it a widget.
Every feed you create generates its own embed code. Paste that code into any website, and the feed renders there and keeps updating on its own.
Sources and feeds are separate limits
Your plan limits how many sources you connect. It does not limit how many feeds you build from them. Feeds are unlimited on every plan, including Free.
That means one connected Instagram account can power a homepage gallery, a product-page slider, and a footer wall, all as separate feeds with separate designs and separate embed codes. It still counts as one source.
A single feed can also pull from more than one source at once. See Combo widgets for how to combine them.

FAQ
How many feeds can I create?
There is no limit. Feeds are unlimited on every plan, so only your source count is capped.
Does each feed need its own embed code?
Yes. Every feed generates a unique code, which is what lets you place different feeds on different pages.
Do I have to re-embed after I change a feed?
No. The embed code stays the same, and your design changes appear on the live site.
Can one feed show content from two platforms?
Yes. Open the feed's 'Sources' tab and select every source you want in it. See Combo widgets.
