Imagine watching a movie for free online, but every so often a commercial plays to pay for it, instead of you paying anything yourself. That is exactly what AVOD means.
AVOD stands for ad-based video on demand, meaning free video on demand that is supported by advertising rather than by a subscription or a rental fee.
Fun facts
- AVOD is the free streaming equivalent of watching regular commercial television, just available whenever you want instead of on a fixed schedule.
- AVOD services can still earn a movie real money, just from advertisers instead of from viewers directly.
- AVOD sits alongside SVOD and TVOD as one of the three main ways video on demand actually gets paid for.
