Ad tag details page in Wowza Video

This article introduces the different parts of the Ad Tag Details page to help you find your way around the Wowza Video user interface.

Important! You’ll only use this page if you’re using CSAI-based advertising (VAST) in Wowza Video. Ad tags for SSAI (Google Ad Manager DAI) are handled in Google Ad Manager directly.  

The Ad Tag Details page helps you to see the following details of your created ad tag:

  • Name – A short, descriptive identifier for the ad tag that differentiates it from other ad tags. 
  • URL – The full URL of the VAST adTag you received from your ad network partner. 
  • Timeout (ms) – The ad timeout measures the time the player will wait for an ad to be returned from the ad server before starting the feature clip. A higher value may increase the chances of an ad fill if your ad server does waterfalling/redirects, but a value that's too high could impact user experience.

You can edit your ad tag through the Ad Tag Details page.
