Start delay modes value -2 means Generic Post-Roll

Generic post-roll: the ad plays after the content ends.

List: Start Delay ModesValue -2

When to send it

Send -2 when the ad plays after the content finishes. Post-roll exists in web video, on-demand CTV, and podcasts, though it is the least used of the three positions.

Buyers usually value post-roll below pre-roll and mid-roll because many viewers leave when the content ends. It is confused with -1 and with large positive offsets near the end of the content; if the break follows the final segment, send -2.

Example

{
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "startdelay": -2
      }
    }
  ]
}
