🔍 How to Validate Content Steering Is Working

The easiest way to confirm that your player supports content steering is to:

Open the player in a browser.
Inspect the network requests (using browser developer tools).
Look for changes in the base URL when the steering configuration updates.

If the base URL changes dynamically, it means the player is responding to content steering as expected.
