The AdPlayer.Pro team dives into the latest video ad format labeling changes by IAB, and their possible impact on the digital advertising industry.
Unlike the past decade, when the key differentiating factor between the instream and outstream video ad units was the video content environment, or lack of it, in the 2020s this so-to-speak “conventional difference” became a little blurry.

Check out a special AdPlayer.Pro’s guide to outstream vs. instream video ads in 2023 and find out:
- What are the existing IAB’s requirements to instream video ad placements?
- Which new video ad placement categories do the current labeling guidelines introduce?
- Who should take the lead in terms of the technical implementation of the new standards? And much more.
