OmniView outstream ad units

OmniView delivers video ads in your article, without any associated video content.

OmniView is an outstream placement: the player appears in the page only to play an ad. If no video ad is returned, you can show a fallback ad unit instead (a passback).

Configuring OmniView using Dejacast Dashboard​

  • Step 1: Login using your account credentials into Dejacast Dashboard, that can be accessed at app.dejacast.com
  • Step 2: Navigate to Settings > Players and choose the player you want to configure. Make sure Allow advertising is enabled.
  • Step 3: On the Edit Player page, use the top navigation bar to go to Advertising, then scroll down to OmniView.
  • Step 4: Click add OmniView tag and enter your VAST tag in OmniView VAST Tag.
  • Step 5 (optional): In Setup a Passback Ad Tag, add the code of a fallback ad unit. It's displayed whenever the VAST response doesn't return an ad.
    • By default, the passback ad is shown only when no video ad was received.
    • Turn on Passback Always On to show the passback ad every time, after the video ad is complete.
  • Step 6: Click Save Ads.

Adding OmniView to your page​

Once a VAST tag is set, the Using OmniView box shows the code to insert in your page or web view. It has this structure:

<div id="dejacast_omniview_x" style="width: 100%; max-width: 640px; position: relative; min-height: 300px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript"
  onload="invokePlayerOutstream('[VAST_TAG]','dejacast_omniview_x', false)"
  src="https://app.dejacast.com/player/[PLAYER_SLUG]/outstream.js">
</script>
  • [VAST_TAG] is filled in with the OmniView VAST tag of the player.
  • [PLAYER_SLUG] is the ID of the player.
  • dejacast_omniview_x is the ID of the container where the ad is displayed. If you add more than one OmniView unit to a page, give each container a unique ID and use the same ID in its invokePlayerOutstream call.

Copy the code from the dashboard and paste it where the ad should appear in your article.

Reporting​
