## Discussion

Discussion The MediumRectangleAdvertisement object has a fixed size of 300 x 250 points. You can embed this component within the text content or at the end of your article. (Medium rectangle advertisements can appear inside a Container only if the container is full-width.) Keep these points in mind when including medium rectangle ads in your article: Do not apply animations, scenes, or behaviors to ad components. Ads placed on the first “screen” of an article will not be rendered. The dimensions of visible areas vary with screen size and text size. If two or more ad components are placed on the same screen, News renders only the first component. Do not position ads immediately before or after an image. For advertisements that span the full width of the display, see BannerAdvertisement. Example {   "components": [     {       "role": "medium_rectangle_advertisement"     }   ] }
