Video ads and clickthroughs

Hi simstim,

Thanks for reaching out.

Am I correct that this means Advanced Ads will allow both a video advert with controls, as well as clickthrough to the advertiser website from the ad?

Correct, in this approach, the HTML5 <video> tag is used to embed the videos through Advanced Ads.

You can use this code snippet from the manual to test the behavior on your site using the free version of Advanced Ads.

<a href="https://wpadvancedads.com">
<video max-width="100%" autoplay playsinline controls muted loop>
<source src="https://wpadvancedads.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/video-ad-example.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</a>

Please be aware that the behavior might be different in different browsers. You can find additional compatibility parameters for the <video> tag in the mentioned article.

Please let me know if you have any more questions. For quick reference, you can also browse our other detailed and extensive plugin Knowledge Base, articles and tutorials.

If you have further questions about Advanced Ads Pro, please reach out to our customer support since questions about paid add-ons are not allowed in this forum.

Best regards,
Henning
