In-banner video can be host or user-initiated up to 30 seconds and must have standard controls (i.e., play/pause, audio/mute, and stop). Audio must be user-initiated, except for in-banner video ads in expandable banners when expansion is on click. If expansion is on rollover/mouse-over, audio must be user-initiated on click.

CNN.com will NOT allow any in-banner video ads on the integrated video story pages as those pages will have a pre-roll synched with a 336x280 banner.
