# Podigee Audio Video Ad Server

Start with the Podigee Audio Video Ad Server and choose the shortest path for your advertising work.

The Podigee Audio Video Ad Server helps podcast publishers plan, deliver, measure, and report advertising across audio and video. Use the Podigee Ad Server in the **Monetization** area of Podigee.

![The Monetization Control Room with the Podcast and Monetization context switch, navigation, campaign totals, creative readiness, and team inbox.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7889678f5efd8403663fb614e732ba2d65b7c739%2Fdoc-monetization-001-control-room-overview.jpg?alt=media)

*The Control Room gives an ad operator one view of current revenue work.*

## Start here

If this is your first visit, read [Welcome to Podigee Ad Server](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/welcome-to-monetization.md). It explains the complete advertising workflow.

If you know the workflow, [open Monetization](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/open-monetization.md) and start in Control Room.

## What you can do

Use the Podigee Ad Server to:

* Prepare sellable podcast inventory and ad breaks.
* Plan Campaigns, forecast delivery, and reserve capacity.
* Prepare and assign audio and video creatives.
* Complete reviews and publish approved Campaign setups.
* Monitor delivery, pacing, fill, and revenue.
* Create reports, reconcile evidence, and settle money.
* Add Marketplace and approved external demand.
* Connect delivery platforms and data systems.

## Choose your work area

## Choose a learning path

* **New solo operator:** Read the welcome page, then open Monetization. You can use Solo confirmation when your workspace does not require another reviewer.
* **New ad operations team:** Start in Control Room. Use Team inbox and Approvals when work needs another person.
* **Sales planner:** Open Campaigns to prepare buyer terms, forecasts, and capacity.
* **Campaign operator:** Use Campaigns, Inventory, and Creatives to prepare work for launch.
* **Revenue or finance operator:** Use Evidence & Money to review reports, differences, and money records.
* **Integration operator:** Use Integrations and Operations to connect services and confirm their state.

## Audio and video stay connected

Audio and video use the same commercial workspace. Each media type keeps its own creative, delivery, and measurement requirements. This structure helps an operator manage one Campaign without hiding the differences between audio and video delivery.

## Next step

Read [Welcome to Podigee Ad Server](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/welcome-to-monetization.md) if you need the workflow overview. Otherwise, [open Monetization](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/open-monetization.md) and review Control Room.
