Inline Video is a high impact video format that appears in-line within the page content. You can choose to either upload your own MP4 file, or else use a VAST tag as the source of the video. An optional overlay can be used to add static brand elements on top of the video.

Format description and guidance
Inline Video is a high impact auto-playing video format that appears midway down the page (mid-content). The format accepts either an MP4 video, or a VAST tag as a source. An optional overlay can be used to add static brand elements on top of the video. It is strongly recommended to include a static endframe to safeguard against suspended auto-play.
