How Stories works
Stories appear as standard Nativo In-feed Units on mobile web publishers. An indicator is added to the top-left corner of the preview image to indicate that this is a story experience. After the user clicks, the story opens full screen. Each frame of the story auto-advances (6s for images, full length for video), so user interaction is not required. Once complete, the ad will stop on the last frame and the user may close the story ad to return to the publisher content.
Within the stories experience, the user can navigate in the ways they are already used to on Facebook, Instagram by tapping on the left and right sides of the screen.
In addition, a CTA helps drive traffic to an external URL (e.g. advertiser site). The CTA is customizable per slide.
