BidTheatre DSP comes with a screenshot agent that automatically captures screenshots of your campaign ads running.

How do I activate the screenshot agent?

  • Contact your account manager to activate the agent on your account.

  • Toggle "Capture Screenshots" in the Setup / Settings tab of the campaign.

Where can I find the screenshots taken?

  • Screenshots are viewable in the Overview / Screenshots tab of the campaign.

How does it work?

  • The agent will visit the top 5 sites (in decreasing order of impressions) of the campaign being captured. If a campaign ad is seen, the site will be captured.

  • The agent will attempt to find new screenshots until 5 screenshots are taken.

  • In order to allow ads to pass audit and get a representative distribution of the biggest sites, the agent will start 2 days into the campaign.

Known limitations

  • The agent is limited to web display. It does not currently capture in-app, video, audio or DOOH campaigns.

  • The agent will capture up to 10 000 pixels of the site.

  • The agent will automatically try to dismiss cookie banners, but may fail. Some screenshots may appear as broken. Manual inspection is always recommended. Please let us know at support@bidtheatre.com if specific domains are troublesome to capture and we will investigate.

  • Allow for at least 2-3 days to pass for a screenshot to be collected. There are no guarantees that the screenshot agent will succeed in finding screenshots.
