Video-ad availability depends on the destination, show setup, episode media and campaign configuration. A video creative being available in Flightcast does not mean it can serve on every platform where your podcast is listed.

Apple Podcasts

Flightcast can publish eligible episode video to Apple Podcasts over HLS only for a show Apple has approved for video. Approval is per show; connecting Apple Podcasts Connect credentials alone does not enable it. HLS video availability is not confirmation that Flightcast dynamic video ads are delivered there. Confirm current ad support for the show before including Apple Podcasts in a video-ad proposal.

Spotify

Spotify video ads use the Direct Sales path through Spotify Distribution. Spotify must enable video ads for the show, and the Flightcast Ads and Video Ads settings must both be enabled. The episode needs eligible video with a processed creative, an approved ad and a matching ad break. A Spotify listing, an audio Partner Program placement or the ability to publish native video does not by itself establish eligibility for Flightcast video-ad delivery.

Before planning a Spotify video campaign, confirm the show's connection and settings. Check the approved campaign, destination, dates, targeting, processed creative and matching break. After launch, review reporting for the intended destination. RSS Streaming alone does not prove that video was requested or shown.

YouTube and sponsorships in the episode

YouTube monetization and sponsorships recorded into an episode are separate from Flightcast dynamic campaign delivery. A Flightcast upload or YouTube listing alone does not show that a Flightcast ad was served there.
