Outstream 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. Additionally an end-frame image is recommended to display a static message once the video has ended.
