TrueView ads differ from traditional pre-roll video ads because they allow viewers to skip ads after 5 seconds, which means that it only counts against your budget when it’s viewed through to completion. Viewers see videos they’re curious about, and you get more views from an audience you know is interested!
YouTube TrueView Ad Campaigns Include:
- In-stream ads play before or during another video from a YouTube partner. Viewers see five seconds of your video and then have the choice to keep watching or skip it.
- Your budget is used when a viewer watches for at least 30 seconds or to the end of the video (whichever is shorter) or clicks on a card or other elements of your in-stream creative.
- Your ad message runs as a :15 or :30 video, which also lives on YouTube.
