Frequently Asked Questions
OTT BASICS
What is OTT Video?
Over-the-Top, commonly known as “OTT”, is a term used to refer to video transmitted via the Internet and bypassing traditional cable or linear distribution. Services that come over the top are generally lower in cost for the consumer than the traditional method of delivery. OTT video can be subscription supported or advertising supported.
Where can viewers stream OTT video?
Viewers can stream OTT video through a variety of devices such as connected TVs (CTVs), desktops, tablets and phones, both at home and “on-the-go.”
How many streaming services are available?
The online video ecosystem is highly fragmented. There are many options for the viewer and the advertiser, making it more difficult for advertisers to find their consumer easily.
