HTML5 tags allow users to create interactive and animated creative messaging, with roughly double the engagement of a static file. As of November 2020, Ad Experiences customers can now upload and manage HTML5 ads directly in the Ad Experiences interface.
HTML5 creative files can be uploaded directly to the Ad Experiences system when launching a new campaign. To ensure that your HTML5 creatives are accepted by our system upon upload, please reference the specifications below.

The IAB suggests that commonly used JavaScript and CSS libraries (e.g. jQuery) do not need to be included with the creative. The IAB has a list of commonly used libraries on their HTML5 Wiki page.
HTML5 Error Troubleshooting
Please click on the Troubleshooting: HTML5 article for HTML5 errors and how to solve them.
Image Sprite
To help increase performance from HTML ads, the IAB suggests that you include image sprites instead of many images to decrease the number of file requests made by your creative.
Video Tags
Video tags may be used in place of animations as long as the video file follows all IAB and Terminus guidelines for display creatives. Videos should always be muted unless a user intentionally triggers sound, and should not automatically be played on mobile devices.
Audio Tags
Audio tags may be used on a creative. Audio tags should only play if an intentional user action starts the audio.
