Definition

AVOD (Advertising-based Video on Demand) refers to the practice of offering video content to viewers for free, with advertisements inserted into the content as a way of monetizing it. AVOD platforms can include streaming services, video sharing sites, and other digital platforms that offer free video content. AVOD advertising can take different forms, including pre-roll ads that play before the content, mid-roll ads that play during the content, and post-roll ads that play after the content. Advertisers can target their ads to specific demographics, interests, or behaviors, and measure their effectiveness through metrics such as viewer engagement, click-through rates, or conversions.
