Livestreams have three ad formats: pre-roll, mid-roll, and display ads. Pre-rolls are run before the live streams, midrolls are run in the middle of the live streams, and display <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/video-reach-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ad formats<\/a> can be located on the screen anywhere but only on the desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps to start mid-rolls for a live stream:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>YouTube Studio\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Create\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Then click on<strong> Go live<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Start live stream from the stream tab<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>edit\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Turn on the <strong>monetization option\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Under the live ad settings, you can insert midrolls automatically into your content and choose the ad frequency between conservative, balanced, and aggressive to set up ads in YouTube live stream.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative offers the minimum number of ads on display, but it will make you earn less money. Balance means the medium-level frequency, and aggressive shows the highest degree of frequency.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose the period of the ads from 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 minutes and the location of the ads to be placed. Once you have completed the process, click on Next and set up your live stream.<\/p>\n<p>Midrolls are more likely to appear to disrupt the crucial part of the stream. You can also regulate that through a live control room. Under the control room setting, click on the &#8220;Display ads&#8221; on the top right.<\/p>\n<p>With this regulation, mid-rolls can be delayed for 10 minutes, taking 5 seconds to count down before appearing on the screen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creators can always choose the ad formats they want for their YouTube videos when they set up ads on YouTube Livestream. Last November, YouTube removed creators&#8217; right to decide what ad formats and the frequency of ad disruptions they want to run on their videos. Thankfully, this didn&#8217;t last long, and creators can now regulate the mid-roll ad format in their videos and live streams.<\/p>\n<p>Now, even while setting up your live streams, if you happen to schedule the content, make sure the title and description are engaging enough to get maximum clicks. Tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-description-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube description generator<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-title-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">title generator on YouTube<\/a> can help you achieve the goal of creating compelling headlines and video details.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_What_Are_YouTube_Live_Stream_Monetization_Requirements\"><\/span>Q1.
