In order for the Quickchannel player to present ads from your ad provider (ad server) you first need to configure advertisement settings on your account. Quickchannel has support for both VAST and VMAP tags.

Advertisement settings are configured under Advertising on the Settings page of the Console.

Setup Advertising With VAST 3.0 Tag

There are three slots per video for VAST tags, Pre-roll, Mid-roll, and Post-roll. Enter a VAST tag URL from your ad provider (ad server) in the field representing the slot you want the ad to play in.

• Pre-roll is presented before the video starts (before a view is registered in statistics).
• Mid-roll is presented in the middle of the video.
• Post-roll is presented after the video has ended.

Setup Advertising With a VMAP Tag

Enter a VMAP ad tag from your ad provider (ad server) in the "Ad tag" field.

Note: This is only supported for the Amber player, contact Quickchannel support for more information.

When using VMAP ad tags, your ad provider controls when and how ads are presented in the player, contact your ad provider (ad server) for more details.

Disable advertising for individual media

Sometimes there is a need to disable advertising on a specific video or live event. This can be managed on a per media basis in Quickchannel. To do that go to overview of media You want to edit and in the Publication section toggle Advertising switch to off.
