Integrations
An integration connects OptiView Ads to an ad decisioning or "pod" serving vendor. Vendors are supported by providing assets of type Vendor in a break variant: the vendor makes the ad decisions, and OptiView Ads delivers the result to players. Google Ad Manager 360 is the first supported integration.
You do not need an integration to play static assets from your CDN or VAST tags from your own ad server: those breaks work on any channel.
Supported vendors
| Vendor | Enum value | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ad Manager 360 | gam | Google Pod Serving (SGAI) and Google DAI (SSAI) |
The vendor model is extensible. When another vendor is supported, its documentation will be added as a separate page in this section and listed in the Integrations sidebar.
Channel and event integrations
Integrations are configured on a channel, at most one per type and vendor. They are the channel's defaults and apply around the clock.
An event can replace them for its duration with integrations of its own, for example to run one game on a dedicated Google Ad Manager live stream. See Integrations during an event.
