Types of YouTube advertising
YouTube provides an opportunity to advertise to many different targeted criteria, such as interests, remarketing, subject areas or demographics. YouTube calls its advertising platform TrueView, which is split into two different advertising types: In-stream and In-display.
Types of In-stream ads
Skippable Video Ads
Displayed on computers, mobile devices, TVs and consoles, these are the standard video advert that allows the viewer to skip the ad after 5 seconds
Non-Skippable Video Ads
Displayed on computers, mobile devices, TVs and consoles, these are non-skippable 15-20 second adverts (depending on regional standards) that must be watched before the main video can be watched
Bumper Ads
Displayed on computers, mobile devices, TVs and consoles, these are 6-second, non-skippable adverts that must be watched before the main video is watched and are turned on when either skippable or non-skippable adverts are turned on
Overlay ads
Displayed on computers only, these are overlay image or text adverts that appear on the bottom 20% of the video
Audio Ads
A new ad type launched at the end of 2020 designed to work with podcasts, concerts, or lectures and which is particularly useful for YouTube Music. Audio ads only show on music or podcast content.
