The Yandex.Video service for the first time in thirteen years has disclosed data on how many views partner sites receive. In 2020 alone, users of the service viewed videos in partner players 13 billion times, that is, more than a billion times a month.
The main task of Yandex.Video is to help people quickly find content that interests them. Therefore, the service displays video players of partner sites right in the search results. In order not to violate copyright, Yandex uses iframe technology.
It provides that the video remains on the source site – where it was originally posted. In this case, the Yandex issue serves as a kind of “window” to the site where the video is published. At the same time, the mechanism of monetization of partner sites does not change.
If the source site provides for displaying commercials in its player, they will be shown to the Yandex audience. Thus, Yandex.Video provides its partners with billions of ad impressions. All income from them is received by the owner of the audio player, which is displayed on Yandex.Video through an iframe.
Today Yandex.Video aggregates over 30 video players from the largest companies. Among them are players of social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok; online cinemas KinoPoisk, ivi and More TV; video services YouTube, Rutube and Coub.
