Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.

General

Can other video platforms help my site's SEO?

Yes. Uploading trailers to sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion generates backlinks, and you can embed those videos on your own site while keeping the full content on your own player.

General, Content Management

What is multi-server support in an OTT platform?

Multi-server support lets you add unlimited servers and assign roles such as application server, encoding server, and storage server, with the ability to activate or deactivate any server from the backend. This enables hassle-free encoding and faster content delivery.

General

How are movies and series managed in an OTT CMS?

Content ingestion should take only a few clicks, with series and episodes created during upload and metadata edited from one module. An artist management module lets admins add cast and directors, which are then displayed on the front end.

Can viewers cast content to their TV?

Yes. Built-in Chromecast support on the website and mobile apps lets viewers press the cast button in the video player and watch on the big screen without installing extra apps or add-ons.

Yes, when the influencer's followers match your target demographic. Authentic endorsements and reviews add a personal touch that builds trust and drives more downloads.

There is no fixed number, but bombarding viewers with ads causes frustration and hurts the user experience. Aim for an ad-to-content ratio that still feels valuable, and monitor feedback and engagement metrics to keep it healthy.

Native advertising blends promotions into the viewing experience through sponsored content, product placements, and subtle brand integrations. Because the ads align with the content, they reduce ad avoidance and feel less intrusive.

Can content creators earn money on AVOD platforms?

Yes. Creators can monetize their productions through revenue-sharing agreements with AVOD platforms, earning royalties based on viewership metrics. The more their content is watched, the more ad revenue they share in.
