Web Banners

What are web banners?

It’s a feature that allows you to directly expose external web pages, such as web animations created in HTML5 rather than images, in the banner area of ​​the cross and event campaigns in the banner area.

You can select one of the two types of web banners to expose.

  1. Large Banner Frame
    The large banner type is exposed in the form of a form that’s same as existing image banners. In this case, you have to make the banner in a frame rate ratio of 800px*450px since the browser scrolling does not work. However, you can make it in the same format as micro webpage since the buttons and menu bar created in the page work.

  2. Full Screen
    Fills the entire screen like custom view to expose the web page. In this case, only Close Button exists and you’ll be able to use scrolling within the page.

Note
  • Spot banners are provided in the same format as large banners, but they can’t be used as web banners.
  • Since there’s no “Do not show today” button when the banner is exposed as a full screen, users will be able to see the banner whenever they access. You must take into account the Close Button on the top-right when designing the web page UI.
  • Hive SDK 4.7.0 or higher versions support YouTube videos. If you want to expose a web page containing a video, you can only use YouTube. Please note that other video platforms are not supported.
