Dailymotion Studio
Access new monetization insights in Studio Analytics
To provide deeper insights into your monetization performance, we've introduced two new valuable metrics into your Dailymotion Studio's Analytics section:
- VTR (View Through Rate) score: monitors the share of users watching a full ad without skipping
- GDPR Consent Rate score: shows the share of users who granted full consent for the processing of their personal data
Dive deeper into each score details and download a full report directly from your Dailymotion Studio.
Learn more about each monetization insight and go to your Dailymotion Studio Analytics to explore them further.
VTR_SCORE
and GDPR_FULL_CONSENT_SCORE
metrics will soon be available in the Reporting API.
Update payment method securely with multi-factor authentication
To secure our partners earnings and accounts, we have introduced a multi-factor authentication check anytime your payment method is updated.
When connecting or disconnecting a payment method in your Dailymotion Studio, a verification code is sent to your registered email: simply enter this code to complete the process securely!
Learn more about how to connect and manage your payment method.
Set up domain and app restrictions to protect live streams
You can now set up domain and app restrictions for your live streams to prevent unauthorized embeds.
Define your restriction rules directly from your Dailymotion Studio and decide if they should apply on all your content or be specific to a live stream.
Learn more about how to define restriction rules on live streams.

Update of supported browser versions

- From your Dailymotion Studio with the "Forward Full URL" toggle
- Via the API using "enable_receive_url_location"

Discover how to integrate Chromecast into your app following our step-by-step guides for Android and iOS SDKs.
Ensure "Share" action compatibility on iFrames
/!\ Only for iFrame embeds
In response to a recent browser update earlier this year, it is now required to explicitly allow third-party iFrames embedded on a webpage to trigger the "Share" action.
To comply with this requirement, you need to add the value web-share
in the allow
attribute of your existing iFrames. Please find examples here.
Explore new "Advertising" section in Developer Portal
We've launched a new addition to the Developer Portal: the "Advertising" guide section.
As a content publisher, you can now dive into comprehensive resources with a structured pathway that will ease your ad integration with the Dailymotion Player and help you optimize monetization.
