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.
