Advertising-Based Video On Demand (AVOD) is a streaming service model that offers free access to video content supported by advertisements. Unlike Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) platforms that charge users a recurring fee for ad-free content, AVOD platforms provide a wide range of movies, TV shows, and other video content at no cost to viewers.

AVOD platforms generate revenue by displaying ads during content playback, typically in the form of pre-roll ads before the video starts, mid-roll ads during the video, or post-roll ads after the video ends. These ads may be targeted based on user demographics, interests, or behavior to enhance relevance and engagement.
