Maximize your video revenue with Humix's new Auto-Insert feature. This guide will walk you through the steps to activate, interact with, and understand this innovative functionality.


Activating Auto-Insert through the Humix Dashboard

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Overview page of the Humix dashboard, then select ‘Auto-Insert’ under Quick Actions

2. Confirm Auto-Insert is Enabled 

And that's it! Humix will now auto-insert high-quality videos across your site to earn additional revenue! 

If you want more control over the positioning of the inserted videos, you can either utilize the options presented in the screenshot above or continue reading below.

Follow the steps below to customize settings and view your Auto-Insert locations with the Chrome Extension.

Steps:

1. Install the Ezoic Chrome Extension
2. Visit your website or the specific page where you wish to manage auto-insert locations.
3. Activate the Ezoic Chrome Extension and select “Humix”.
4. A sidebar will appear on the left, presenting various interaction options.

Within the Humix Sidebar, you have three main options:

• Preview AI (Auto Insert) Locations: View the available AI locations, and see your active location where Humix will serve videos
  
  • Note: The default location is pre-selected to generate the highest engagement and revenue
• Auto Insert (AI) Options:
  • Video Source: Determine the origin of your video content.
  • My videos
  • 3rd party videos (from the Humix network)
  • Both: My videos and 3rd party videos
  
  
  
  • Matching: Videos can be matched based on your page topic detected by Humix or by specified categories:
    • Page Topic: Humix auto-selects this by analyzing the meta description and video description to find the best match.
    • Page Category: Choose up to three categories. If you opt to choose categories, you’ll be prompted to select video categories.
    
  • Page Exclusion Settings: Disable AI placeholders by specific pages or directories. For instance:
    • Page: (current page being viewed)
    • Directory: www.website.com/*/**/**
    • Preview Page Matches: See the videos that Humix has selected as a match for your page.

Changing to an alternate Auto-Insert location

• After activating ‘Preview AI Locations’, you’ll have the option to switch to a different, pre-determined location. To do this, simply select ‘Set as Preferred Location’.

It is important to note that this location will be updated as your preferred Auto-Insert location across the site. This location will be used on all articles, not solely the URL you make the change on.

If a page isn’t long enough to include the location you’ve selected, the next available location on the page will serve a video instead.

• The default top placement is the most lucrative, as floating videos are most effective after the first paragraph. This "floating" feature ensures the video moves along with the user's scroll, offering an uninterrupted viewing experience.
• Default settings for locations are set to Autoplay and Float to maximize video performance.
• To change the video display position, use the “set as preferred location” button on the placeholder preview. This will apply the setting across the entire site. However, for optimal revenue, it's advised not to place the video too far down the page.
• If the location that was set as the new preferred location is a “long content” placeholder it may not apply to all pages because not all pages may have “long content”. If this scenario occurs the preferred location for shorter pages will default to the next location that is the furthest down the page.

Auto Insert Options

  • Page Topic: Humix auto-selects this by analyzing the meta description and video description to find the best match.
  • Page Category: Choose up to three categories. Your selections will be displayed at the sidebar's bottom before confirmation.
• Page Exclusion Settings: Disable AI placeholders by specific pages or directories. For instance:
  • Page: (current page being viewed)
