Optimize Player with Automatic Recommendations

Introduction

The Dailymotion Player gives you the possibility to easily show curated content to your audience without the hassle of creating playlists manually.

“Automatic Recommendations” is an AI-driven feature designed to generate refined selections of videos. Depending on your goal, it can be optimized for monetization, engagement or view performance.

In this guide, we’ll show you the characteristics of each optimization model, and how to enable them on a Player configuration using the API.
