TargetVideo VAST Inspector Tool

We strongly suggest that you try out any VAST ad tag that you have in our VAST inspector tool.

If you have trouble seeing an ad appear in VAST Inspector tool please take into consideration the following:

  • Some ad tags will only serve ads if they display under certain whitelisted domains. Make sure that our targetvideo.com domain is whitelisted with your ad provider.

  • Certain ad tags will only display ads in specific geographical locations. Make sure that your ad tag is booked with ads from your ad provider for your geo location.

  • If you are using the TargetVideo VAST Inspector Tool under SSL conditions, ensure that your ad tag starts with https://, or your browser will likely block the call to a non-SSL-enabled ad tag, and you may not see any ads display.

  • The TargetVideo VAST Inspector Tool has a handy log built into the player where you can view various messages about your ads. All possible errors will display in this area.

  • Certain ad tags have various macros that need to be dynamically filled by the player. Here is a list of supported ad macros by the TargetVideo player. Substitute them in your ad tag accordingly.

  • Rarely does an ad tag have a 100% fill rate. Make sure to try getting a response from your ad tag multiple times before calling it quits.

If all the above conditions are met and you still have problems with displaying ads from your ad tag, please submit a ticket so our Support Team can assist you. Be sure to include the VAST ad tag you are testing.

Here you can find a list of sample VAST tags to test with the player.
