Global skip button configuration

Roman B. 7 years ago

Hi

After lengthy discussions with our advertising partners, we had to accept that they will never use the skipoffset attribute defined in the VAST 3 standard. The reason is that in a complex setup like ours with ad networks, real-time bidding, waterfalling etc., the party delivering the VAST document is not the party who has contractually defined if and when the ad can be skipped. So that party is unable to add he information to the VAST document.

We are therefore looking for a way to set the skipoffset configuration globally for all pre and post rolls played on our site. Do you have any plans of introducing such a global configuration? Haven’t any other clients voiced the same requirement?

Regards
Manuel

Hello Roman,

I’m checking your request with our team. We had a request like this before, but we never heard the ad partners refuse to add a skip button.

Thanks,

Hello Roman,

we will add this feature. You will be able to enable video ad skipping and it will look just like in our custom video ads: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/roll-custom-video

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin

Thanks a lot. We’re looking forward to it.

Can you give us a rough estimate of when it will be available?

Thanks, Manuel

Hello Roman,

we are unfortunately incredibly busy right now, so it will take a week or two.

You can also order our Pro support to accelerate development of this feature if you really need it: http://foliovision.com/pro-support

Thanks,
Martin
