IMA

IMA SDKs simplify the process of incorporating multimedia advertisements into your web pages and applications. They can request ads from any VAST-compliant ad server and handle the playback of the ads within the app. By using the IMA client-side SDKs, you retain control of the content video playback while the SDK manages the ad playback. The ads are displayed in a separate video player that is overlaid on top of the app's content video player.
