What is a Viewer Profile?
When you configure your video to include personalized content, you can preview what that video will look like to a specific audience using a viewer profile. A viewer profile is a set of data that defines a potential viewer of your video. For example, this data can include a viewer's first name and their age group. Of course, the viewer profiles you create will be based on the content you have configured and the data that you hold.
To make sure that the logic in your configurations is correct, we recommend that you create viewer profiles to simulate all the different audiences that will watch your video.
Reviewing your video with viewer profiles is essential before publishing your video.
