# Pause ad when out of view

## Pause ad when out of view setting pauses the ad when the player is not visible by the specified percentage, improving ad viewability.

The behavior is determined by your *Show when X% in view* setting.

The *Pause ad when out of view* option will pause your ad when the player itself is out of view at least the previously specified percentage.

If ad viewability is important to you, we highly recommend activating this setting. This ensures your ad stays visible while playing, enhancing ad visibility.
