mid-roll ads

Embedded commercial interruptions

Mid-roll ads are advertisements that play during the middle of video or audio content, as opposed to before (pre-roll) or after (post-roll).

Common on streaming platforms and podcasts, mid-roll ads interrupt content at natural breaks: The mid-roll ads on this podcast are getting longer.

Creators often place them at cliffhangers or transitions to discourage skipping.
