Monetization is a vital part of live broadcasting today. Whether you’re running a 24-hour music channel or streaming sports, inserting ad breaks can turn your content into a steady income source.
Wowza supports VAST and VMAP ad tag standards — the same formats used by major networks and ad agencies. They allow broadcasters to automatically insert video ads before, during, or after the live stream without needing third-party software.
How does Wowza make ad insertion simple?
You simply embed your ad tag URL inside the Wowza player or RTMP configuration. The server handles the timing and synchronization, showing ads at the specified moments while keeping the stream live. It works seamlessly with most ad networks, including Google Ad Manager and SpotX.
Where can you host Wowza ad-ready servers?
At Hosting-Marketers.com, every Wowza plan includes optional VAST and VMAP integration. For high-traffic broadcasters, Wowza-Hosting.org provides scalable plans with integrated analytics to track impressions and ad revenue.
