However, the importance of video players is often overlooked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video players bridge the gap between the user and the ad. Some ads like in-stream cannot be served without a video player and the user cannot view them without it. That\u2019s how essential their role is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/VAST-Request-and-response-1.gif\" alt=\"Video ad monetization\" class=\"wp-image-15334\"\/><figcaption>How VAST works with a video player<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the video player communicates with the ad server that sends signals in form of a markup language such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-are-vast-tags-and-how-to-create-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VAST<\/a>. Using VAST or VPAID (the two most common video ad serving templates), a video player is able to read details about the ad creative. And that\u2019s how brands are able to let their ads be seen by the users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you are well-versed with the video ad monetization platforms and how to single out the best one for your needs, let&#8217;s delve deeper and look at the ways publishers can monetize with videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_Publishers_Monetize_with_Videos\"><\/span>How Can Publishers Monetize with Videos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways publishers can monetize their videos: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ad-Based_Video_on_Demand\"><\/span>Ad-Based Video on Demand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways publishers can monetize their content with videos is by AVOD, which refers to ad-based videos on demand. With this method, publishers do not have to charge their audience for content access in order to generate revenue. With AVOD, they can provide their their content to the audience for free while also generating revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Affiliate_Deals\"><\/span>Affiliate Deals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, publishers can also earn through affiliate deals, which give them a commission or a certain amount of money every time a customer buys a product from their page. For example, a publisher can write a blog on a brand\u2019s product and post the same in their blog with the product\u2019s video and the link. Every time someone buys from that link, publishers make a certain sum of money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, to generate consistent income with affiliate marketing, it is important to have a good daily traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paywall_Content\"><\/span>Paywall Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paywall content is another method of video monetization widely used by publishers across the globe. This method of monetization is also known as the transaction-based video on demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publishers can define a paywall by restricting access to their video or text content. To put it in another way, it requires your audience to pay one-time fees to access the content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premium_Membership\"><\/span>Premium Membership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscription-based video on demand (SVOD) is a widely used monetization model for over-the-top (OTT) streaming services. The model allows for recurring membership payments from users, usually on a monthly basis, to access a wide range of content for a specified period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SVOD provides users with unlimited viewing opportunities during their subscription period. However, once they cancel their subscription, they lose access to the content. It is, therefore, essential for SVOD services to have robust digital rights management (DRM) technology in place to prevent unauthorized access and distribution of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix makes a great example of the same where users have to pay for a subscription to watch the movies and series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to monetize it, let&#8217;s understand where you can monetize videos. Here&#8217;s a list of the best video players for both medium and large publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/best-video-file-format-for-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 10 Video File Formats for Publishers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-best-video-players-for-medium-and-large-publishers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Video_Players_for_Medium_and_Large_Publishers\"><\/span>Best Video Players for Medium and Large Publishers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-brightcove\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Brightcove\"><\/span>1.

Initially, they were only meant for playing ads. But now they come with additional features such as providing insights, integration with different ad networks, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some of the core principles of finding a suitable video player are still intact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how publishers can choose the best video player for them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-google-ima-sdk-integration\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_IMA_SDK_Integration\"><\/span>Google IMA SDK Integration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a publisher\u2019s primary ad server is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-run-video-ads-in-google-ad-manager-gam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Ad Manager<\/a>, then Google recommends integration with their IMA SDK. This integration allows publishers to display all video ad formats from Ad Manager using API and sending reports from the video player to the server. Hence, a video player that can support this integration should be ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-vast-and-vpaid-compliance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VAST_and_VPAID_Compliance\"><\/span>VAST and VPAID Compliance&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, VAST and VPAID are the two most common ad-serving templates used by video players to communicate with ad servers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it makes sense to choose a VAST\/VPAID-compliant player. These IAB templates are responsible for most of the video ads we see on the web nowadays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-customizable\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customizable\"><\/span>Customizable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most publishers might require UI\/UX modifications in video players according to their customer base, website capabilities, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is essential that the video player, a publisher chooses, is customizable in nature with proper documentation available for tweaking the settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-formats\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formats\"><\/span>Formats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a plethora of video ad formats such as pre-roll, overlay, etc., available in the market right now and publishers must make use of as many as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opting for a video player that offers adoption and implementation of any ad format should be the ideal choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also Read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-boost-video-ad-revenue\/\">How to Triple Your Video Ad Revenue: Checklist for Publishers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Video_Ad_Monetization_for_Publishers\"><\/span>Advantages of Video Ad Monetization for Publishers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at a few of the essential advantages of video ad monetization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expand_your_Audience\"><\/span>Expand your Audience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more people are preferring video ads, making them a good source for publishers to generate revenue.&nbsp; Following is the study performed by the eMarketers showing the number of views it is about to attract in 2023 and previous data. Take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/mryKbweKxQ3S-Ndt1gL5a5bJ9HK4dT42eSbp0fT8dakG2tMG8mi845XNt-MIE7c2W9VzBMNtgaOq1WoYkOUzj639Qvbd2DSkd9gwUk4sOynp2NdQvoo9PD4KVUYHFt_ZHxxDOkSgD08qfCKNQpzXExE\" alt=\"Video ad monetization \" width=\"516\" height=\"396\"\/><figcaption><em>Image source &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insiderintelligence.com\/\"><em>Insider Intelligence<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the significant benefits of video ad monetization is that it helps you maximize your audience base. Most people prefer free content, which is generally ad-monetized rather than paying for it. Since the content will be free to access, publishers can witness an increasing number of views.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only this leads to a greater audience, but at the same time, it helps increase the ad revenue. It\u2019s because the ad revenue is directly proportional to the number of views garnered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximizing_Revenue\"><\/span>Maximizing Revenue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/5960\/digital-video-advertising\/#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20online%20video%20ad,China%20and%20the%20United%20Kingdom.\">Statista<\/a>, in 2022, total spending on video ads amounted to whopping 75 billion US dollars. This is a significant factor to be taken into account as it implies the effectiveness of video ads. For publishers, this means there\u2019s enormous demand for video ad space they can monetize.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhanced_User_Experience\"><\/span>Enhanced User Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Video ads can be less intrusive than other ad formats. For example, pre-roll video ads can be skipped after a few seconds, and mid-roll video ads can be placed at natural breaks in the content. This makes video ads less disruptive to the user experience, which can lead to increased engagement and loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_to_Premium_Advertisers\"><\/span>Access to Premium Advertisers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Going with video ads optimization opens more doors for publishers to monetize their content.&nbsp; This can also provide them with access to premium advertisers who may not be interested in other ad formats. Going forward, it helps publishers attract higher-quality advertisers and earn more money per ad impression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, video ad monetization is a great way for publishers to monetize their content who are not looking forward to going with the paywall or any other method.&nbsp;<br>In addition to understanding the importance of video players and how to choose the best one for video ad monetization, it&#8217;s important for publishers to explore the most effective ways to monetize their videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also Read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/types-of-video-ads\/\">Types of Video Ads, Best Practices &amp; How Are They Served<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though we have listed the top five video players present in the market, there are a host of other options available such as Kaltura, DACast, and others.
