Ad break complete

Last update: May 28, 2026

CREATED FOR:

  • Developer

The ad break complete event signals that all ads in an ad break have finished (either completed or skipped). It closes the ad break opened by Ad break start.

IMPORTANT
Every adBreakStart must have a matching adBreakComplete. Without the closing bookend, ad events are ignored and ad duration is attributed to main content.
