The purpose of the "videoElement" parameter for AdDisplayContainer

[Андрей Поздняков]

Greetings, everyone.
I have a small question about the idea behind the "video" element parameter of AdDisplayContainer object.

The documentation states it is an "alternative video ad playback element". But what does it mean?

1. Under what circumstance SDK decides to play ad through this video element instead of containerElement + iFrame?
2. What would happen to the ad playback and SDK in general if I don't pass it? Will it properly stop playback or there will be an error of any sort?

If possible, I would like to know more technical details about this.

Sincerely yours, Andrey Pozdnyakov.
