About: Triggering an ad break will send an appropriate API call to all enabled push targets, which provide the ability to trigger ads in their player (for example Twitch, Youtube, ...). If enabled, this will also generate an appropriate SCTE ad marker on any MPEG-TS output.

Trigger Ad Breaks
Manually schedule ad breaks during live streams and VODs by selecting the duration and triggering the event, without interrupting the live stream.
To trigger an ad:
- Select the duration
- Click Trigger Ad
While the ad is running you see the remaining time in seconds. To cancel the ad:
- Click the cancel button beside the counter.
Hint: Canceling a running ad break is currently not supported by social targets such as Twitch, Youtube, and Facebook.
