So if you migrate your YouTube content to Brid.TV, you can then monetize it to your heart’s content after uploading it to your website. NOTE: You must have your own website/domain to be able to monetize videos using Brid.TV.

First and foremost, to check whether the issue lies on our end or somewhere else, go to our Ad Tag Tester in the Brid.TV CMS and test your ad tag there. If you see an issue with the ad playback, contact our technical support. But if the ad displays properly, then the issue might lie elsewhere. There are several possible external reasons for an ad not displaying on your site’s player: Your ad network might not have an available ad to send to your player. There is usually a much higher ad demand on the market than there are ads, so your ad network might simply not have anything to send to your player at the moment. In fact, most ad networks offer only a 25%–50% ad fill rate, so that is most likely why you aren’t seeing any ads on your player currently. If this is the case, there is nothing Brid.TV can do about it; you will have to contact your ad network for any additional questions. Your ads.txt file might not be updated. You must update your ads.txt file to allow your ads to play. Even if you’ve entered your ad network’s ad tag correctly, if you don’t allow the publisher to display ads from it in your ads.txt file, no ads will be able to play. You can find out more on the ads.txt file here. You might have to wait for your traffic to pick up before advertisers start bidding on you. If this is the case, the only thing you can do is wait or talk to your ad network about the problem. Brid.TV can’t assist you with the issues related to your ad network.

First and foremost, to check whether the issue lies on our end or somewhere else, go to our Ad Tag Tester in the Brid.TV CMS and test your ad tag there. The most likely reason your player starts without sound is that your Media Engagement Index (MEI) is too low. Because of the changes to Google’s Autoplay Policy, autoplaying with sound is most often prohibited. Depending on how high your MEI is (you can check that by typing in chrome://media-engagement in your browser), our player is programmed to follow one of the following three outcomes: If your MEI is high enough, the autoplay with sound should work (according to your enabled settings) If your MEI is not high enough but the player has registered a valid user interaction upon the player, the autoplay with sound should work (according to your enabled settings) If your MEI is not high enough, and the player has not registered a valid user interaction that would allow autoplay with sound, the video will play muted until a valid user interaction is established that would allow the player to play sound. Note: You can adjust the autoplay with sound settings in the Player menu in the Brid.TV CMS.
