Amplify Pre-roll FAQs

Do I have to opt-in every video?

No, it is the publisher’s choice as to what videos are opted into the program. This selection can be made on a video-by-video basis, or set as defaults in the account Settings page, found by clicking the Monetization button within the top navigation bar. 

Can I specify brands or categories that should not be paired with my videos?

Yes, publishers have the ability to specify both individual account names and categories. Advertisers also have the same ability within their own dashboard.

How will I know my earnings information ahead of the payment window?

The publisher’s “estimated earnings” are shown in the analytics tab. They are displayed on a 2 day delay. All figures are estimates, and there can be deltas between the estimates and the final payment amounts. Please see the partner terms for additional details.

How and when do I get paid?

Twitter will pay publishers 60 days after the last day of the calendar month in which the earnings occur. For example, June earnings will be paid at the end of August. Payments are sent automatically and an email notification is sent to the contact name in the payment details.

Amplify Sponsorships FAQs

Can I share a video for Amplify Sponsorships without Tweeting?


No, currently a new Tweet needs to get created each time you want to place a video into a package.

I forgot to select the package when Tweeting. Can I associate a Tweet to a package manually?


No, you must select the program upon Tweeting. If this is not done, it is recommended that you delete the Tweet and then create a new one associated to the correct package.

I accidentally Tweeted into the wrong package. Can I manually remove that Tweet from the package?


No, you must delete a Tweet if it was incorrectly created.

Can one video be used across multiple packages?

Yes, it is possible to use one video across multiple packages, but it requires creating multiple Tweets — each one linked to a different package.

Why do I not see a package selection dropdown?

Please reach out to your Twitter account manager for more information.
