Instream Video
Instream video advertising on the Smaato Publisher Platform (SPX) delivers all the functionality needed to drive more revenue with higher eCPMs and improved click-through rates. Many of the world’s top publishers leverage Smaato’s Instream video to add monetizable inventory to their content. Our instream video is VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) compliant, and is available in any of the following forms to provide users with a seamless and highly viewable ad experience.
Pre-roll
These are the ads that you see before a video you requested begins.
Mid-roll
Similar to commercial breaks, these ads are played during the requested video content.
Post-roll
The least intrusive of Instream ad types, this ad plays at the end of the video content requested.
Outstream Video
Leveraging outstream video content in premium ad placements guarantees viewability and enhances engagement for both publishers and advertisers. Smaato’s outstream video ad units integrate seamlessly in a publisher’s mobile web content, instantly transforming it into premium video inventory.
How It Works
Outstream means that the video ad plays within the content of a mobile web page rather than opening full screen in the device’s native video player.
Video Ad Plays
- When more than 70% is visible
- Muted initially for better user experience
- With any length video
Video Pauses
- When less than 70% is visible
- When the user moves to a different screen
Upon Video Completion
- Replay button appears
- Call-to-action appears
- The ad unit disappears with scroll
Rewarded Video
Rewarded video is a popular ad format where users are incentivized for watching a video ad. Rewards can be in the form of prizes, virtual currency, or anything else the developer can provide in the context of their app that users would like to receive.
How It Works
These non-skippable videos typically run for 15 – 30 seconds, and are supported by client-side rewards. The fact that users opt-into these ad impressions in return for a reward or incentive greatly improves video completion, brand awareness, and/or drives app-installs.
- Higher Completion Rate
- Optimal Engagement
- Ideal for Brand Awareness
