An interactive option-switcher Standard Display format. A row of thumbnail buttons switches between up to five options, each with its own background (image or video) and a transparent overlay. Switching crossfades the whole state; the creative auto-rotates through the options until the user interacts. Part of the Fluid Display private-offering set.
Supported sizes
970x250 · 800x250 · 300x600 · 320x480 · 300x250
Examples
Assets
Backgrounds are full-bleed and overlays are full-frame, so export one per size — a plate made for 970x250 will crop badly at 300x600. Thumbnails are small and shared across sizes. Each option is a full state the user switches to via its thumbnail.
Option Background (per option) — required for Option 1
Image (JPG, PNG, WEBP, max 250kb) or streaming video, drawn 'cover' (fills, may crop). Export per size. Option 1 is required; options 2–5 are optional.
Option Overlay (per option, optional)
Full-frame transparent PNG shown 'contain' over that option's background — compose the headline, CTA and any copy here. Export per size.
Option Thumbnail (per option)
A small selector button image, one per option, shared across sizes. The active thumbnail pulses; the others dim.
Format description and guidance
Add your default click URL, then for each option a background (image or video), an optional overlay, and a thumbnail. Each option can carry its own click URL; options without one fall back to the main Click URL. Hover to switch on desktop, tap on mobile — thumbnails never navigate (a tap only switches); clicking the creative goes to the current option's URL.
The creative auto-rotates through the options until the first interaction (Auto Rotate Speed: Slow/Normal/Fast), then stops. An optional Hint ("Tap to explore", editable text) shows above the selector until the first interaction. Works with a single option (no selector shown) and with no overlay/hint. The hint text renders accented and non-Latin characters correctly (UTF-8).
Max total file weight
The combined file weight of all assets must not exceed 3.5 MB.
Audio
Optional — available when an option uses a video background and Audio is set to Enabled.
