Stand-Alone Ads

Overview

A stand-alone ad creates a single view in which one creative is played until completion. It is best used to create a native ad experience in static layouts, for example as a pre-roll ad before playing video content. It behaves similarly to the interstitial ad, but it allows for full control over its integration into the app's layout.

Features

  • Full control over the ad's integration into your layout.
  • Automatically pauses and resumes video content when visibility is lost or regained.
  • Skippable ad support. The ad is VAST 4 compliant, supporting skippable ads introduced in VAST 3.

Behavior

The following shows a stand-alone ad's behavior within an app where the ad is displayed as a pre-roll placement before the main content.

  1. The app requests a stand-alone ad through the FeedAd SDK.

  3. The app includes the view inside its layout. Once the view becomes visible, the ad will automatically start playing.

  4. The app is notified when the playback is completed. It can then remove the stand-alone view from its layout and start displaying its main content.
