AMP Story Challenges for Video

[Prebid-Vertoz]

Description

Hello AMP Team,

I hope this email finds you well!

We are currently working on AMP storytelling for Video/VAST. However, we have encountered some challenges during the implementation of AMP story for video. These challenges include:

1. When our video ad is positioned at the 5th position, users sometimes encounter the ad while visiting the 4th position. As a result, when users reach the 5th position, the ad is already completed. Could you please provide a solution so that the ad is rendered only when users visit the ad section?

2. Due to issues such as fill rate, capping by demand, and others, we sometimes experience empty ad displays. Is there a way to remove the ad feed in such cases?

For reference, we have shared a test page below:

Thank you in Advance

Please articulate how to reproduce the ad bug you mentioned. I didn't see any ads at the link you shared.

As per shared Demo page url for Video story telling,we have two doubts :
1.When our video ad is positioned at the 5th position of Feed, users sometimes encounter the ad while visiting the 4th position. As a result, when users reach the 5th position, the ad is already completed. Could you please provide a solution so that the ad is rendered only when users visit the ad section?

2.Sometimes experience empty ad displays,Is there a way to remove the ad feed in such cases?

@erwinmombay Any update?

[ychsieh]

Could you please record the two bugs you mentioned? For the second bug, I imagine you can implement in the amp-story-ad where if the ad is loaded incorrectly, remove the ad page entirely. We will happy to review that PR!

Adding @powerivq as this is related to ads.
