Unmute & Rewind
The Unmute & Rewind feature offers a playback experience focused on re-engaging users after an autoplay preview. This feature presents an unmute button that, when clicked, rewinds the content and starts playback from the beginning with sound, triggering a new ad request.
This design encourages interaction at a key moment in the viewing journey, helping maximize ad performance while maintaining a seamless user experience.
How it works:
-
When loaded, the player autoplays and immediately requests and plays ads.
-
After ads finish, muted content plays as a preview, and an unmute button appears on the player.
-
Clicking the unmute button rewinds the video and restarts it from the beginning with sound (regardless of the player’s initial volume setting) and sends a new ad request.
-
After this, the player resumes normal playback behavior.
Note: Autoplay must be enabled in the player template for this feature to function.
