01What it is

Video Ads (VAST)

Video that plays inside ordinary content rather than before a clip. Publishers need no video library at all, which is why outstream supply is deep and pricing is friendlier than in-stream.

What is VAST?

VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) is the industry standard that lets an ad server and a video player speak the same language — where the file lives, how long it runs, what to do on a click, which events to track. Adgora serves video over standard VAST 2.0, so publisher players pick it up without custom work.

What is outstream video?

Outstream video plays inside regular content — a player that appears between paragraphs of an article — rather than before a video clip. It lets any publisher sell video inventory without hosting video, which is why supply is deep and prices are lower than in-stream.

What are the video creative specs?

A direct MP4 URL served over HTTPS. Recommended: H.264, up to about 30 seconds and 10 MB. Keep it lean — a heavy file buffers, and a buffer is a skip. Sizes are 640×360 outstream and 320×180 video banner.

Do video ads work without sound?

They must. Most outstream video autoplays muted, so any ad relying on a voiceover is a silent film for most of its audience. Put the message on screen and treat sound as a bonus.
