How Tubi is built for TV

Tubi is available on effectively every TV platform. As an ad-supported service, its engineering priorities include fast startup, reliable ad insertion, and low-friction browsing on cheap hardware.

It is a good reminder that AVOD adds an entire ad-delivery and measurement layer on top of normal playback.

Building something like Tubi?

  • AVOD means server-side ad insertion and measurement, not just video playback.
  • Startup time is a conversion metric for free apps. Optimize cold launch.
  • Low-end devices are your core audience for free apps, so test there first.
