Native Video - EN Specifications

Autoplay Video

This format includes a video with a title, a description and the logo of the advertiser.

Two ways to open the video:

  • When the user clicks or scrolls, a video appears in the format and adapts perfectly to the website by shifting the editorial content. During playback, the user can be redirected to a landing page if s/he clicks on the video. At the end of the video, the format disappears to leave room for the original formatting of the article.
  • At the scroll, a video is launched in the heart of the native preview when it is visible at 100% and automatically adapts to each page. After viewing, the user has the possibility to replay the video and / or go to discover the site of the advertiser.

Autoplay videos have the following behavior:

  • Muted autoplay is always allowed
  • Autoplay with sound is allowed if:
    • User has interacted with the video through a click, tap, etc.
    • User has previously played video with sound.
