The Advertisement Tab

You can use the fields in this tab to control this widget's display of video advertisements. Values you set here will override any defaults set using section parameters in the publication, and may in turn be overridden by values set in individual Video content items. For more information about how video advertising is controlled, see the Widget Framework User Guide.

The Advertisement tab contains the following fields:

Enable pre-roll (pick value from list, default=Default)

Determines whether or not pre-roll ads are displayed in videos. Note that pre-roll ads are not supported by all video players. This parameter only has any effect if you are using a video player that supports pre-roll ads.

You can select one of the following values:

Default

The current default setting is used. This means the value set with the wf.media.ad.preroll.enable section parameter in either the current section or one of its ancestors.

Show

Display pre-roll ads.

Hide

Do not display pre-roll ads.

Pre-roll ad (relation)

You can drop a Service content item here. The Service content item must contain the URL and query string parameter settings for a VAST or Google IMA advertising service that is to supply the pre-roll ads displayed by this widget.
