What is VPAID Ads
VPAID (Video Player-Ad Interface Definition) is a standard that enables interactive video ad experiences by allowing the video player and ad creative to communicate with each other. VPAID ads can include overlays, interactive buttons, product carousels, quizzes, and other user-driven engagement features. While VPAID has been widely used for desktop web environments, it is being phased out in many mobile and CTV environments in favor of more secure formats like VAST 4 and OMID. However, it remains relevant for interactive desktop video demand.
