Customization options for Contextual Embed
We’ve added 2 new options to customize Contextual Embed:
- Prevent empty Player: Control whether the contextual Player may display fallback content or remains empty when no relevant content is found.
- Set date range: Limit video selection to recent uploads by specifying a recency range in days.
How to use it?
- From the Studio > Embeds > Players > "Contextual embed" section in Player configuration.
-
Via the API:
-
enable_contextual_contentto activate the feature. -
enable_contextual_content_fallbackto avoid empty Player. -
enable_contextual_content_freshness+contextual_content_freshnessto allow recent content and specify recency in days.

Control monetization at Player level
For ad-based contracts only.
The "Monetize" option allows you to enable or disable monetization on a Player.
Previously, monetization could only be enabled or disabled for an entire Organization, with no possibility to control it on a Player basis. This new feature offers greater flexibility to let you customize Players to meet specific needs.
This means you can:
- Optimize certain Players for ads to maximize monetization.
- Create ad-free Players for a faster loading experience by skipping the ad stack.
Learn more about the monetization feature at Player level.
How to use it?
- From the Studio > Embeds > Players > "Monetize" toggle in Player configuration.
-
Via the API:
enable_ads
Control the default off-air message for live streams
The "Off-air live stream status" toggle lets you choose whether the default message "This live stream isn't available right now" appears before and after your live streams.
Disabling it gives you greater flexibility to customize your live stream thumbnail, to give more visibility to the message or image of your choice.
How to use it?
- From the Studio > Embeds > Players > "Off-air live stream status" toggle in Player configuration.
-
Via the API:
enable_live_offair_screen
