As far as I know, the most common practice is handling the ads insertment at the client side. eg. at the player level. I know that videojs got a vast plugin: https://github.com/googleads/videojs-ima as well as JWPlayer: https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-advertising However this method has one drawback, Adblock addons will target most VAST requests and disable the advertisements.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And presumably they want that ad to be different based on some kind of characteristics of the connecting person (i.e. it's not going to be the same for everyone). I don't know anything about VAST, but maybe you could use the auth mechanisms to do something. Cheers, Geoff.
