## How it works

You tell us what to clip and where to post. Overlap finds the best moments in your content, turns them into short-form clips, and publishes them to your social accounts. You're billed at a fixed rate per 1,000 views delivered (your **CPM rate**). You can't be billed more than the **monthly cap** you set.

Your dashboard lets you:

* follow the views, posts, and spend of each campaign
* pause or resume a campaign at any time
* connect or unlink social accounts
* see what your campaign has been doing, day by day
* review your invoices and update your payment method

## Key terms

| Term                | What it means                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Campaign**        | One ongoing run of clipping and posting: your sources, the accounts it posts to, and its monthly cap.                                                          |
| **Source**          | Where clips come from. A source can be a YouTube channel or playlist, a podcast feed, a Dropbox folder, a link, an upload, or a keyword or person to look for. |
| **CPM rate**        | What you pay per 1,000 views delivered. You agree on it with Overlap before you sign up.                                                                       |
| **Monthly cap**     | The most a campaign can bill in one calendar month. When a campaign reaches its cap, posting stops until the next month.                                       |
| **Views delivered** | The views your campaign's posts earn, as reported by each platform. See [What counts as a view](/managed/billing#what-counts-as-a-view).                       |
| **Guardrails**      | Topics and content you don't want clipped.                                                                                                                     |
