Enumerations

CompanionBackfillMode

constant   static

string

Defines a set of constants for the companion backfill setting. This setting indicates whether companions should be backfilled in various scenarios.

If the value is ALWAYS, companion backfill will be attempted in all situations, even when there is no main ad returned.

If the value is ON_MASTER_AD, companion backfill will be attempted if there is a main ad with fewer companions than there are companion slots. The missing companions will be backfilled.

The default value is ALWAYS.

Note that client-side companion backfill requires tagging your companions properly with a Google Publisher Tag (GPT). To enable backfill, the following changes to standard GPT setup are necessary: 
...
let slot1 = googletag.defineSlot('/1234/adunit', [300, 250], 'slot-div');
slot1.addService(googletag.companionAds()).addService(googletag.pubads());
...
googletag.companionAds().setRefreshUnfilledSlots(true);
...
googletag.enableServices();
For autoplay videos, the following additional change is recommended to prevent companion slots from being preloaded and then immediately replaced with companions. 
googletag.pubads().disableInitialLoad();
...
googletag.enableServices();

Value

ALWAYS

ON_MASTER_AD

VpaidMode

constant   static

number

A set of constants for enabling VPAID functionality.

Value

DISABLED

VPAID ads will not play and an error will be returned.

ENABLED

INSECURE
