Companion types value 3 means iframe Resource

Iframe resource: a URL the player loads into an iframe to render the companion.

List: Companion TypesValue 3

When to send it

Send 3 when the companion slot can load a URL into an iframe. The companion content is fetched from the buyer's server at render time rather than embedded in the VAST document.

Buyers choose 3 when the companion needs its own document context or must be generated when it is shown. Players without a browser engine cannot support it. It is confused with 2: both end up as HTML, but 3 is loaded from its own URL in its own frame.

Example

{
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "companiontype": [
          3
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
