DV360 sound-off playback must be classified as outstream.

What it means

DV360 sound-off playback must be classified as outstream. This check applies to the selected vendor contract and integration direction.

Why it matters

The declared profile checks the published partner contract alongside canonical OpenRTB. It does not verify runtime approval or account configuration.

How to fix it

Use the documented field type, value and representation at the reported path for this integration direction.

    "ua": "browser",
    "ip": "192.0.2.1"

Profile dv360, OpenRTB 2.6-202606. The fixture asserts openrtb.profile.dv360.instream_sound at imp[0].video.playbackmethod.

Paste a bid request or response into the tester to see whether this code fires against it, or gate on the id in CI with the CLI: the id is stable, wording is not.
