Review the Streaming Media Collection overview

Before you begin implementing the Streaming Media Collection, review the Streaming Media Collection overview to make sure it meets your needs.

Confirm your pricing model

The current pricing model for the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Streaming Media Collection Add-on is based on video streams. If necessary, contact your Sales Representative or ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Account Team, as the add-on is sold separately for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform.

Enable ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics Reports

To enable reports in Analytics or Customer Journey Analytics and to view the content and ad data that you’re collecting, you must enable reports. See Media reports enablement.

Implement the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform Identity Service in Experience Cloud

The Identity Service enables the common identification framework for the Experience Cloud Core Services, solutions, and customer attributes and audiences in the People core service. It works by assigning a unique, persistent ID to a site visitor. When your organization implements the ID service, this ID lets you identify the same site visitor and their data in different Experience Cloud solutions.

The ID service can also replace the different solution-specific IDs (for example, Analytics AID). Through the Customer IDs and Authentication States functionality, the ID service lets you pass in your own customer IDs to the Experience Cloud. Keep in mind, however, that the ID service only works with the solutions to which you have already subscribed. If you are not signed up for access to other products, the ID service does not provide the access.

The ID service is an integral component of many Experience Cloud features, enhancements, and services. Currently, the ID service supports and

If you have not implemented the ID service, now is the time to start considering a migration strategy. For more information about the importance and role of the ID service, see
