Considering an outstream campaign? Find out what different outstream video ad formats you can choose from, and how we can help you.
An ‘outstream’ video ad unit, also commonly referred to as ‘in-read’ or ‘native video’, is a new video advertising unit that auto plays in a large format player whenever a user navigates to it within text content (typically an article), even if the publisher doesn’t have their own video content.
It’s called outstream because the video ad exists outside of online video content – also known as instream video content — where the ad plays either before (pre-roll), during (mid-roll), or after (post-roll) the publisher’s video content.
