Overview

Introduce server-side and signal-based ad insertion capabilities to enable monetization across live and VOD streams. This feature will support industry-standard SCTE-35 markers and VAST 3.0+ ad workflows, providing flexible integration options for partners.

2. VAST 3.0+ Integration

  • Clients may provide their own VAST (3.0 and above) ad tag URLs.

  • We will handle ad decisioning and server-side ad insertion based on provided VAST tags.
