Templated Auto & User Expanding Rectangle
This unit auto-expands to 988x320, revealing an 8 second video. It can then be expanded to reveal a full trailer.
- Video displays upon expansion and resolve back to 300x250.
- Visible close button is already baked into the template, no need to include. As well as a replay button if there is an auto expand. That replay button allows the user to play the auto expand video again.
- The template below illustrates where the close button will be, it cannot be moved.
- The auto-expanded video is not clickable.
- The resolve 300x250 and the 420x320 static side panel can only have a singular button. They can differ in clickthrough URL and messaging.
- Each creative item in the unit can be date checked no more than 5 times except for the slate image.
- The trailer in the expanded state cannot exceed 5 minutes.
