Ads Request vs Impression

[Latsch]

Hi I have got a question to the overall process of Requesting Ads.

I got that you can Request an AD (get the VAST URL) but an impression will obly be send when the actual Ad  is buffered ( played).

now to my Question is it ok to?:

- Request defined Video-Ads for a VideoPlayer on PageLoad (Player init, without any user interaction)

- The Impressions are triggered when the actual video-Player shows the Ad. (user clicked play)

I looked Up in the VAST documents from the IAB but did not found a concrete answer to that question.

Actual documents or sites concerning that question would be great.

Thanks Alot Latsch

Hi Latsch,

You can try to use enablePreloading settings. That will preload your media file, and you can have it triggered on page load. When the user clicks the button to play the ad, your creative will play and the impressions will be pinged. Let me know if you have any further questions.
