Overview
- Zattoo users can open ARD Mediathek titles through direct links and then return to the Zattoo interface with a few clicks.
- Editorial highlights from ARD appear on Zattoo’s start page, and the full Mediathek catalog is searchable within the app.
- The integration is already live on the web, Apple devices, and Android devices, with Smart TV support rolling out next.
- The cooperation applies to the German market and expands a partnership that has included ARD’s linear channels on Zattoo since 2008.
- The approach differs from Joyn’s earlier embedding of ARD/ZDF libraries that led to legal action, while ProSiebenSat.1 argues embedding is lawful under EU rules.
