Microsoft Invest - System targeting

You can target users based on their operating systems, browsers, language, device model, or carrier. In the Targeting section of a line item, select the Edit button next to System.

By default, all operating systems, browsers, and languages are targeted. On the System dialog, you can narrow your targeting to include or exclude specific systems.

  • The OS Family tab shows all operating system families (for example Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac) and operating systems (for example Windows 8 or 10.8 Mountain Lion) available for targeting. You can either include or exclude OS families and operating systems.

  • The Browser tab shows all browsers available for targeting. You can either include or exclude browsers.

    Note

    If you want to target the Safari browser on desktop and mobile, make sure to include both "Safari" and "iPhone" browsers in your targeting. Including the "iPhone" browser is necessary to see delivery for your line item.

  • The Language tab shows all of the languages available for targeting. You can either include or exclude languages.

    Note

    The language that is targeted here for excluding and including is the browser language, not the language of the content.

  • The Device Model tab shows all the device makes and models available for targeting. You can either include or exclude devices.

  • The Carrier tab shows all the carriers and the countries where they are available. You can either include or exclude carriers.

  • The Summary tab shows a summary of the selected targeting settings.

Warning

All system targeting types can be used but with some limitations. Due to inconsistent user agent naming conventions used by app providers and mobile carriers, the device type, device make/model, and OS targeting methods for mobile apps are only available for a small portion of inventory. Targeting these items will limit reach on mobile apps.

Additionally, since a significant portion of all impressions are delivered to unknown browsers, operating systems, or both, you should consider targeting Unknown operating systems and browsers to avoid severely restricting reach.
