Sizmek Advertising Suite: Creative > Ads > New Ad > Design HTML5 Ads > Template Gallery > Video In-Stream Interactive
Important
Important: Ad Builder supports In-Stream ads only in Sizmek Advertising Suite.
Note
Note: The In-Stream ad that you can create from scratch contains the same elements and features as the In-Stream Interactive template in the Templates Gallery. The only difference between the two, is that the template in the Templates Gallery is a fixed size (640x360), while the ad you can create from scratch allows you to select its dimensions.
The HTML5 In-Stream Interactive template is a 640 x 360 pixel responsive ad that includes a Primary Video component that will serve as the linear video that runs automatically upon adload. It also includes skip and close buttons. The ad includes ready-to-go VPAID elements that you can customize for your needs. By default, upon ad autoload, the Primary Video starts playing for the full length of the duration.
The responsive ad stretches to fill the player it is running inside and maintains its aspect ratio. Responsiveness is enabled by default and cannot be modified although you can exclude components from the responsive scaling, for example, the Close and Skip Ad buttons. For more information, see Build an HTML5 Responsive Ad.
