5. Once the asset is loaded, it will show in the placeholder (you can resize, etc.):
   
   

• Disable Autopan – (deselected by default) selecting this will keep the initial image loaded, and the user can manually click and drag the panoramic image/video to view.
• Disable VR Mode Button – (deselected by default) – if de-selected, and you have uploaded a video file, a viewfinder icon will show (next to the full screen icon) on mobile ads, which will disable the VR mode:

• Full Screen icon – Click the eyeball tool in the left side tools panel to Preview your ad unit. Once in preview, clicking on the bracketed box icon to the right of your mute button will show the video in full screen mode.
• Pause/Play icon – Once in preview mode, if a video file is used, the pause/play icon will allow users to pause or play the video:

Add any other assets to the ad, Preview, and Save.
