What is Outstream?
Outstream is a unique type of ad we offer for desktop and mobile. It looks like a typical display ad inside your content and automatically plays through a single animation. Readers can interact with the Outstream ad to turn on sound, but it’s always silent by default.
An Outstream ad only serves when it will earn you more than a regular display ad and when a reader is on a fast connection, and it waits to load until the content on your page has finished loading.

Does this ad align with the Coalition for Better Ads (CBA) requirements?
Yep! All of your Raptive ads meet CBA’s guidelines.
Will this impact page speed?
Nope! We’ve made sure running an Outstream ad won’t have any additional effect on page speed.
Do Outstream ads have sound?
Outstream ads will be silent by default, unless a reader chooses to turn on sound.
