FreeWheel Ad Plugin

Use the freewheel.js ad plugin to load FreeWheel ads in Player V4. FreeWheel is an ad server and ad management platform. Using FreeWheel, publishers are able to segment their ad inventory, define ad targeting rules, and take advantage of the FreeWheel MRM network capabilities. The Ooyala Ad Manager Controller (part of the Ad Manager Framework) handles when ads play and how video ads are rendered for FreeWheel ads. FreeWheel controls overlay ads.

Ads and Firefox Private Browsing
