video ad

Skippable promotional clip

A video ad is a commercial advertisement in video format, typically appearing before, during, or after online content.

Pre-roll ads play before videos begin; mid-roll interrupts longer content; post-roll follows.

Video ads also appear in social media feeds, apps, and streaming services: I sat through a thirty-second video ad to watch a two-minute clip.
