Create a Google Ad Manager dynamic ad insertion (DAI) ad schedule in Wowza Video

For server-side ad insertion, create a Google Ad Manager dynamic ad schedule.

Note: Server-side ad insertion is currently only available for videos and not for live streams.

Before you start 

You should have access to the following item(s):  

• DAI enabled Google Ad Manager 360. 

You should complete the following tasks:

1. Contact Wowza Support to enable the DAI ad schedule for your org within Wowza Video. Wowza Support will provide you with an MRSS feed URL that you’ll use to configure Google Ad Manager.
   
   It’ll look similar to this: https://play.flowplayer.com/web/public/workspace/[site-id]/videos/mrss?feed_type=dfp

         Note: Your [site-id] will be provided in the MRSS feed URL you get from Wowza Support.

2. Configure Google Ad Manager.
   • Add the MRSS feed you received in step 1 as a new content source in your DAI-enabled Google Ad Manager account.
   • Optionally, set up an authentication key in Google Ad Manager.

Refer to Google Ad Manager content for help configuring Google Ad Manager.

To create a dynamic ad schedule: 

1. Select + New schedule. 
2. Select GAM Dynamic Ad Insertion. 
3. Assign a descriptive name to the ad schedule in the Name field. 
4. Enter Content Source ID, the unique identifier in DAI-enabled Google Ad Manager that was created after you set up your MRSS feed content source.  
5. Optionally, enter an Access key to authenticate your content source. This key can be set up in Google Ad Manager for extra security.
