Interstitial ads
Add a way to close the interstitial ad
You can use one of the methods below to close an interstitial ad built for the Display & Video 360 environment.
Auto-close automatically closes the ad after a set period of time, while a close button allows the viewer to close the ad.
Add auto-close
In the example below, the ad auto-collapses after 15 seconds.
-
Add a new event, making these selections in the event dialog:
Target document.body Event Google Ad > Ad initialized Action Custom > Add custom action Configuration Give the function a name, such as closeAfter15s, then enter the following custom code (adjusting the time period as necessary):setTimeout(autoClose, 15000);
function autoClose() {
Enabler.close();
}
Add a close button
-
Create a button or other clear visual element for closing the ad.
-
Add a Tap Area component positioned over the button.
-
Add a new event, making these selections in the event dialog:
Target gwd-taparea-1 (or the ID of the Tap Area component) Event Tap Area > Touch/Click Action Custom > Add custom action Configuration Give the function a name, such as closeAd, then enter the following custom code:Enabler.reportManualClose();
Enabler.close();
Testing in preview
