In-feed Video Ads

Formally known as “video discovery ads”, these thumbnail images taken from the video with small amount of text next to it are displayed in areas where discovery takes places, such as the search results, suggested as a related video or on the mobile homepage. They’re typically used to raise awareness about a brand or product.
