Viewability
Whether an ad had the opportunity to be seen. The MRC standard counts a display impression as viewable when at least 50 percent of its pixels are in view for at least one continuous second, and a video impression when 50 percent is in view for two continuous seconds. Viewability is measured by verification vendors and reported by platforms; it says nothing about attention, only opportunity.
