Manage ads within a VOD player

Update 04/14/2026

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

 

Preamble

  • You can insert multiple videos as ads and their source can be:
    • your own videos already imported,
    • URLs if you have an ad network (Google Marketing Platform, Openx, Oath, Tremor Video DSP, etc.).
  • The ad 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 the option to skip the ad (after the number of seconds of your choice).

 

Configure the VOD Player ad

Prerequisites

Once in your Player configuration:

  1. Click on the Advertising tab.
  2. Choose between:
    • no ads,
    • links provided by your ad network,
    • video(s) from your library.
    • Note, you cannot mix the two types of ads; you lose the information already entered if you change the type of ad.
  3. If you choose one or more videos from your media, you can choose:
    1. the URL to which to send the viewer if they click on the ad to learn more,
    2. the moment when the video should start (only mid-roll),
    3. the moment when the viewer can skip the ad:
  4. Click the button to Save.
