Manage ads within a VOD player

Update 09/01/2026

This guide explains how to integrate advertisements during media playback using your Infomaniak VOD Player.

 

Introduction

  • You can insert multiple videos as advertisements, and their source can be:
    • your own videos that have already been imported,
    • URLs if you have an advertising platform (Google Marketing Platform, Openx, Oath, Tremor Video DSP, etc.).
  • The advertisement can be Pre-roll, Mid-roll, and Post-roll, meaning it can be displayed at the beginning, middle, or end of your video.
  • You can allow viewers to skip the advertisement (after a number of seconds of your choice).

 

Configure the VOD Player advertisement

Prerequisites

Once you are in the configuration of your Player:

  1. Click on the Advertising tab.
  2. Choose between:
    • no advertising,
    • links provided by your advertising agency,
    • video(s) from your library.
    • Please note that you cannot mix the two types of advertising; you will lose the information already entered if you change the type of advertising.
  3. If you choose one or more videos from your media, you can choose:
    1. the URL to which the viewer will be redirected if they click on the advertisement to learn more,
    2. the time at which the video should start (only mid-roll),
    3. the time at which the viewer can skip the advertisement:
  4. Click the button to Save.
