Place an in-page video player on the page around the game, not inside it: beside or below the game frame, visible without scrolling and never over game controls. It plays muted by default, and on mobile it usually goes below the game or in a sticky slot. It runs alongside gameplay, so unlike interstitials and rewarded ads it needs no break points.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where does an in-page video player go around a web game?<\/h2>\n

An in-page video player sits on the page around the game, not inside it: beside or below the game frame, visible without scrolling, never overlapping game controls. It plays muted by default (browsers block autoplay with sound), and on mobile it usually goes below the game or in a sticky slot. It runs alongside gameplay, so it doesn’t need break points; interstitials and rewarded ads do.<\/p>\n

Why the player should be visible without scrolling<\/h2>\n

A video ad counts as viewable only when enough of it stays on screen for long enough. For video ads, the MRC\/IAB viewability standard is 50% of pixels in view for 2 continuous seconds (1 second is the display standard) (IAB Tech Lab standards<\/a>). A player placed below the fold, or one the visitor scrolls past on the way to the game, may never meet that bar. Beside or directly below the game frame, it sits where the player is already looking for the whole session.<\/p>\n
