A: You can insert your own Ads, as long as they come in via a VAST or IMA supported platform. If you want to try this open a free Google Ad Manager account formerly called DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP): https://admanager.google.com/. You store your videos anywhere and use the platform to create the insertion logic. For example, every 15 minutes insert 2 clips of 30 seconds each. Create a manifest file. Enable the player advertising widget and copy the path to the manifest file. When you use the Videolinq player, the ad widget senses your request and stops the video every 15 minutes, inserts your ads, and continues. This works for both live and recorded files.

You can stream live video or point to recorded files hosted and delivered by any CDN. At the end of the day or broadcast go back to your Ads platform and review the ads performance, viewer demographics, and more. In short, our integration allows you to use the Videolinq player with the ads insertion widget, host your live video or files anywhere, stream them from any CDN, and use any supported ads management solution to serve your videos via the player. Be aware that this service is only available when you use the Videolinq player. We do not deliver ads on live videos sent to social media for obvious reasons.
