How It Works Benefits
16. Interactivity : SIMID
16
The new VPAID!
Sandboxed execution: Ad has no access to player(safe and secure)
Player controls playback: publisher in control
Pre Cache assets: better user experience
SSAI context: creative can be rendered in SSAI
Native or web player: no environment constraint like HTML video element required in VPAID
17. Interactivity : VAST Interactive Templates
17
Simple : Alternative to SIMID for pre-defined, simple interactive experiences
Safe: No executable code required in the ad unit for interactivity.
Native : Like Native Ads! Publisher powers the interactive experience. Advertiser
populates it with VAST.
