Now you can monetize your channel through an ad tag URL. Viloud Player supports all key standards for video advertising: VAST, VPAID or VMAP.

Just add the ad tag URL, provided by an Ad provider (like Google AdSense, FreeWheel or SpotX) to your channel. You can easily find this option when creating or editing a channel, in the Player settings section.

After adding the ad tag URL, you can see it in action in your channel player.

This feature is available from the Premium plan.

We're happy to announce the launch of our live streaming feature, which is available now with the latest update. We worked hard and listened to your feedback and request, and we are proud to announce our newest feature which will change how you can use Viloud.

With this new feature, with Viloud we can upload both live and on-demand videos to the cloud easily.

For live streaming, you can broadcast to Viloud from both RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) encoder hardware or software encoder solutions including but not limited to OBS, vMix, and Wirecast.

There are several unique features while live streaming through Viloud:

• Embed the live stream directly on your website or any website, or you can send the live stream to one or multiple Viloud channels. Viloud will automatically adjust this channel into a live state, and when the live session ends this channel will switch into an on-demand state.

• All streamed content will be recorded automatically so you can use it as on-demand content in your Viloud channels.

• Live minutes streamed will be counted like minutes hosted on the Viloud channel.

The live streaming feature is available starting from Viloud’s Business plan.

Start live streaming today from the Lives page.

Now you can ingest the 24/7 live feed of your linear channel in a third-party player for your website, your apps (mobile/Smart TV/set-top-box) or OTT platforms like Roku, Apple TV, etc.

To get the .m3u8 link, please create a linear channel with the option "I want the .m3u8 link of this channel to ingest in a 3rd party video player or platform" selected.

Please note that all videos added to these channels must be:

• Videos uploaded to our cloud (through our upload page).
• Or .m3u8 VOD links (from your own video hosting/CDN).

This feature is available from the Premium plan. You can try the live feed in a third-party player during one minute from any plan and once you upgrade to Premium, you will get full access.

Now you can add the same video multiple times to a looped or on demand channel.

Just uncheck the option Hide videos added to the channel in the Add video popup and you will be able to select and add videos already added to the channel.
