Manage ads within a VOD Player

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

 

Introduction

  • You can insert several videos as advertisements and their source can be:
    • your own already imported videos,
    • URLs if you have an ad server (Google Marketing Platform, Openx, Oath, Tremor Video DSP, etc.).
  • The advertisement can be Pre-roll, Mid roll and Post-roll so loaded at the beginning, middle, or end of your video.
  • You can offer the viewer to skip the advertisement (after the number of seconds of your choice).
