Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does the pop-up video appear on the screen and can the corner position be configured?
+
The video ad pops up from the bottom portion of the screen, typically the bottom-right or bottom-left corner depending on the configured position. The corner placement is set within the Revive Adserver zone and plugin configuration. This bottom-corner format is a widely recognised placement (similar to YouTube's mini-player) that users can easily locate, interact with, or dismiss without it obscuring the main content area.
Is this ad format compatible with mobile browsers as well as desktop, and does the pop-up behaviour differ on mobile?
+
Yes. The plugin delivers the side pop-up video ad responsively across desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. On mobile, the pop-up appears at the bottom of the viewport, appropriately scaled for the smaller screen. The close and skip button sizes are touch-friendly on mobile devices, ensuring users can dismiss the ad without difficulty. The post-page-load trigger applies equally on mobile, respecting mobile page load performance.
Can the skip button timer be configured, for example forcing users to watch a minimum number of seconds before skipping?
+
Yes. The skip button delay is configurable within the plugin settings, allowing publishers to define the minimum number of seconds a user must watch before the skip option becomes active. This is equivalent to the standard skippable video ad model (e.g., 5-second mandatory view before skip). Setting a longer minimum view duration increases completed view rates but may impact user experience; publishers should balance yield goals with audience tolerance.
Does the pop-up video ad support click-through tracking to the advertiser's landing page?
+
Yes. The plugin includes click-through tracking. When a user clicks on the video or a designated CTA (call-to-action) element within the pop-up, the click is recorded in Revive Adserver's statistics and the user is redirected to the advertiser's configured destination URL. Click counts and CTR are accessible alongside impression data in standard Revive Adserver reporting.
Will the side pop-up video conflict with other ad zones or sticky elements already present on the publisher's page?
+
The pop-up renders as a fixed-position overlay at the browser viewport level, independent of the page's existing layout. It does not interact with or displace other on-page ad zones, sticky headers, or footer elements. However, if the publisher already has a sticky footer or chat widget at the bottom corner, the z-index and position of the pop-up can be adjusted in the plugin configuration to avoid visual overlap.
