ENDS NEXT MONTH
Overlay ads are a type of ad that appears as a banner near the bottom of the content. This ad format, which often conflicts with the content being played and disturbs viewers, will be eliminated starting next month.
OUTDATED AD FORMAT FADES INTO HISTORY
This ad format is currently only available on the desktop version of Youtube. It was removed on mobile devices a long time ago. This outdated ad format will no longer annoy users by appearing above the playing videos, spoiling their video viewing experience.
THE CHANCE TO SKIP THE AD IS GIVEN
Instead of banner ads, the Youtube app and mobile version uses full-screen ads before, during and after the video. Moreover, viewers have the option to skip these ads.
