skip button

Ad escape option

A skip button is a control that lets you bypass content you don't want to watch—most often the unskippable ads on streaming platforms that become skippable after a countdown: I'm just waiting for the skip button to appear.

Skip buttons also let you jump past video intros, tutorials, or cutscenes in games.
