Amazon Video Ads

Amazon Video Ads allow advertisers to showcase a 15-second (or less) video on the wake screen. The video starts playing (muted) as soon as the device screen is turned on. The customer may tap on the video to unmute the video.

This creative execution is available across Amazon’s websites, mobile apps and on Fire tablet wake screen; creative guidelines for Amazon Video Ads is available here. This page is specific to Amazon Video Ads on Fire tablet.

Experience Overview

When a customer turns on their Fire device, an inline video begins playing automatically with no sound. Tapping on the video unmutes the video. This creative execution does not allow for full-screen playback; consider utilizing Click to full-screen video instead.

When the video resolves, the customer may tap on the video to watch it again. The call-to-action button may link to an Amazon shopping page (products, movies, apps, etc.) or a full-screen interactive experience (Custom Landing Page, Click to full-screen video, or tablet-optimized external URL).

Creative Guidelines

Video content:

Trailers for content rated as appropriate for older teens (15+) must be contained within a Custom Landing Page or external URL, and must only play when initiated by the customer after the page has loaded. Auto-play, including use within Video with Overlay packages, is not allowed.
Ads containing trailers for content rated as appropriate for young teens (12-15) or older teens (15+) will be filtered from devices with active parental controls, even if the trailer itself is appropriate for all audiences.
Videos must include audio.
Videos must not include CTA buttons.
Avoid displaying important content (like logos or fine print) in the bottom-left and top-right corners of the video. During production, a mute/unmute button and countdown timer are added to the video player; these are fixed and cannot be altered.
