Ad Viewport
This format has a viewport width of 100%, and depending on the preferences of the publisher, either 50%, 80% or 100% of the screen height. The most common viewport height is 80%.
Safe zones
There is an animated arrow button that will be added at the bottom-center of the Topscroll creative. Avoid placing any important elements (text, logos, CTA’s, buttons etc) in this area (50px wide, 120px high), as they may appear covered or overlapped.
Format description and guidance
Topscroll is a high impact responsive format that appears at the top of a publisher page (before page content). It must be built so that all the imagery and content scales to fit the browser window. It is typically served to appear at 80% of the available browser window height, but can be up to 100% (dependent on publisher).
