L-Shaped Ads Support (SIMID 1.2) - More Discussion Needed #412

Open 7tonrobot opened 3 years ago

Problem Serving an L-Shaped ad creative will require the video player to resize and reposition content video which is not something that VAST/VPAID do not currently support.

Overall Approach:

Three approaches were suggested:

  1. Update SIMID 1.2 spec to pass additional AdCom parameters from publisher to ad server. Pass requirements to a publisher via Extension.
  2. Use VAST. Custom integration with publishers to utilize the image in the companion as an overlay.
  3. Use VAST. Custom integration with publishers to treat the ad as non-linear with content-resize.

Furthermore, it was considered that maybe "L-Shape" be added as a completely new ad-type called, "L-Shape"
