post-roll

Following the content

Post-roll is advertising that plays after video content ends, as opposed to pre-roll (before) or mid-roll (during).

The term comes from digital video platforms where ads are programmatically inserted: The post-roll ad played after the tutorial finished.

Post-roll ads typically have lower engagement since viewers often navigate away once content concludes.
