Hi,

I wanted to ask if its possible to set Wowza Streaming Engine to play for example an ad video after a specific amount of time for all vidoes watched or specific videos? If so how may I go about it?

Thanks

Hello @Arnold Agaba,

For ad insertion you would need to use a player that supports this functionality and then have Wowza pass-along a signal to the player to play the ad. We discuss this process with JW Player in the following video:
