The first slot of the pod, right after the content stops.

List: Slot Position in PodValue 1

When to send it

On a request, send 1 when the impression is guaranteed to be the first ad after the content stops. On a response, Bid.slotinpod 1 limits the bid to that slot.

First position usually has the highest attention and completion in a break, so buyers often pay more for it, and some campaigns target it exclusively. A seller that sends 1 must make sure its pod assembly honors it. It is confused with Video.podseq 1, which marks the first pod in the stream, and with the deprecated Video.sequence, where 1 simply numbered the first of several impressions.

Example

{
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "slotinpod": 1
      }
    }
  ]
}
