2 October 2023
What’s launched?
Feature Rotator is a carousel ad placement that appears above the fold of the Fire TV Home screen, making it one of the most visible placements in the Fire TV UI.

When the user navigates to the ad via the remote, the initial static imagery is replaced with an autoplay video with audio enabled. After a moment, the video expands to fill the majority of the screen. At this point, the customer can use the left and right buttons to view other content items in the rotator or continue to watch the rest of the video.
Feature Rotator ad format now available to advertisers on Amazon Advertising Console (AAC)
During campaign creation, advertisers can now select Feature Rotator from the ad format card. Once selected, advertisers need to provide a background image, logo image and a 15-18s trailer video for their promoted content. Feature Rotator creative assets need to conform to the specifications and guidelines listed here.
