YouTube Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads for Upper-Funnel Reach
The Essentials
These are upper-funnel, in-stream ads that users must watch in full. Non-skippable in-stream ads can be placed before, during, or after video content.
*It’s important to note that “30-second non-skippable” video ads can actually be anywhere from 16-30 seconds long, however these ads will ONLY show on Connected TVs (CTV).
