# Ad pods

Optimize ad breaks using ad pods.

## What are ad pods?

**Ad pods are sequences of multiple ads played consecutively within a single ad break.** They are flexible and can fit into prerolls, midrolls and postrolls.

Introduced with [IAB VAST 3.0](https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/VASTv3_0.pdf), ad pods provide a **better way to monetize long-form content**:

* **Reduced latency and infrastructural loads -** Ad pods fill multiple ad slots in one single ad call.
* **Increased ad revenue -** Ad pods play multiple ads per ad break, resulting in higher fill rates.
* **Ads coordination -** Ad pods coordinate the ad request and reduce the risk of displaying repetitive or conflicting ads in the same ad break.
* **TV-like experience -** Ad pods mimic the traditional linear TV commercial format, ensuring a familiar experience for viewers.

Ad pods can be implemented on your Dailymotion Player following these steps:

1. **Create your ad pods via your Google Ad Manager account**, following [Google requirements](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/6399249?hl). You'll be able to define parameters such as the position of the pod in the video (preroll, midroll, postroll) or the number of ads per ad break.
2. **Reach out to your Dailymotion Account Manager** to share your ad pod codes - We'll manually add them into your VAST tag.
