Running a Video in The Trade Desk

Creating an Outstream/In-stream video creative:

You can target Sharethrough inventory using standard VAST or VPAID tags. While utilizing these, you can target both outstream/in-feed and in-stream video. Please make sure you set your targeting within the DSP to bid against the type of inventory you want!

1. Create your video creative. You can use the Hosted Video or 3rd party video (VAST or VPAID) option.


a) For hosted video : only Asset File, Name and Landing Page URL are mandatory fields, all the others are optional.

b) For 3rd party video just copy the VAST tag and paste in the URL. 

2. Manually approve your video creative in the creative library.
