Set ad blocker detection
1. Scroll down to the Engagement & Interactivity section, find Ad blocker detection and click the toggle to open the settings.
2. Configure the following:
- Allow playback - Lets users continue watching even if an ad blocker is detected. A message will prompt them to disable the blocker or keep it on before playback continues.
Applicable to Allow playback only. Ad blocker detection runs once at the start of a browser session. If the user turns on an ad blocker after that, no message will appear.
- Block playback - Prevents playback if an ad blocker is detected. Users will see a message telling them to disable the ad blocker to continue watching.
- Add custom overlay message - A default message appears when an ad blocker is detected, but you can override it with your own custom message by checking this option:
- Title - Type a title for your custom overlay message.
- Description - Type a description for your custom overlay message.
- Close without disabling ad blocker - If you are allowing playback with an ad blocker on, you may type a label for the button users will click to signal they want to continue playback with an ad blocker on.
- Close after disabling ad blocker - Type a label for the button users will click to confirm they've disabled their ad blocker.
3. Click Save at the top right of the settings page.
