Daytime Media Viewer Spot

With the Daytime Media Viewer spot, you can display multiple spots at different times of the day. For example, one spot can play until 12:00 PM, the next until 03:00 PM, and so on.

You can configure a maximum of four spots with multiple media elements to play during the day and a fallback media file in case a time of day isn’t covered.

Use the spot for advertisements

The spot works with DOOH. That means, you can use it for advertisements.
