Ad skipping

Ad skipping scope of support

Offering ad skipping options to your audience is great way to monetise your content while providing a gentle and smart viewing experience. Radiant Media Player supports ad skipping in the following way:

  • VAST 3+ skippable video ads: when a valid VAST 3+ tag with skippable information (e.g. skip information are held within the VAST XML response) is presented to the player, it will automatically read that information and display a skip button when appropriate. This is available for the Google IMA and our rmp-vast VAST parser - no extra configuration is required.

Ad skipping through player API

Player API methods

skipAd()

rmp.skipAd();

This method orders the player to skip the currently displayed ad (and to resume content). This method only has effects if the ad is a skippable ad and is in a state where it can be skipped. You may query the getAdSkippableState API method to know if an ad can be skipped or not.

getAdSkippableState()

rmp.getAdSkippableState();

This method returns a Boolean stating if the ad on stage can be skipped (returns true) or not (returns false).
