Ads insertion made easy

A wide variety of ad servers and ad networks can now be used directly with your DaCast player. Simply use your server or ad network account credentials and set this up in your DaCast account!

1/ Compatibility

DaCast’s default player now can support Pre-Roll ads using any VAST 2 and VAST 3, VPAID, VMAP ad networks and ad servers (as well as Double Click).
