Yes, you heard that right! Now, get ready to see more ads on videos. The giant video-sharing platform now experimenting with &#8220;pause ads&#8221; on YouTube TV. This ad will show you when you pause the video you are watching. The video is supposed to shrink in and pop up the ads.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s Chief Business officer, Mr. Schindler, said on the call, &#8220;In Q1, we saw strong traction from introducing the pause ads pilot on connected TVs, a new non-interruptive ad format that appears when users pause their organic content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He further has to say that YouTube pause ads are the best way to drive strong brand lift results and are commanding premium pricing from advertisers. Considering this point, the chances of getting paused ads rolled out more widely increase. The pause ads program was launched last year in the spring, and to date, it has been in the testing phase.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s primary source is ad sales, so the platform has always been making updates that are close to that. The most recent one is shutting down <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/youtube-ad-blockers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube ad blockers,<\/a> which are used to restrict ads on videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pause ads are advertisements that play while you are watching a video on YouTube TV.
