What is VAST Ads

VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) is a widely adopted XML-based standard used to deliver video ads across players, devices, and platforms. It defines how a video ad should load, track impressions, fire events, and interact with the player. VAST tags allow advertisers to run linear, non-linear, and companion video ads in environments like desktop, mobile apps, CTV, OTT, and streaming platforms. Using VAST ensures consistency, reliable tracking, and compatibility across the digital video advertising ecosystem.

Explore comprehensive VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) examples that demonstrate IAB-compliant video advertising implementations. Our samples cover VAST 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 specifications, including pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll placements. Each example includes proper tracking implementation, error handling, and quartile event reporting essential for campaign measurement and optimization.
