Dailymotion makes its entrance among the Google OMID list of trusted players
Dailymotion has recently been added to the Google OMID list!
OMID is a standardized API for measuring viewability and verifying ad impressions across different platforms, including mobile apps and websites.
Being officially part of the Google OMID list means that, as a Partner, you are ensured to access accurate and standardized measurements for your ad campaigns leading to potentially more advertising campaigns and higher revenues.

To guarantee that users can enjoy the best experience possible with our product, we recently updated the list of browsers versions supported by the Dailymotion Player.
