<\/a> <\/p>\n

Wondering how you should format your ads? In this post, we\u2019ll explore the requirements for YouTube advertisements by covering the following.<\/p>\n

What are YouTube Ads?<\/a>
\n The Types of YouTube Ads<\/a>
\n How to Make the Most Out of YouTube Ads<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

Youtube is the second most active social media platform in the world<\/a>, according to DataReportal\u2019s global social media statistics. Creating ads specifically for this platform can help you meet your current marketing goals.<\/p>\n

Before you create your first ad<\/a>, you’ll need to create an account (if you don’t already have one). Then, you\u2019ll choose which type of advertisement you want.<\/p>\n

YouTube ads have a variety of different formatting requirements. Ad formats are determined by the advertiser and may vary based on which delivery option is selected. After selecting your delivery option, you need to create the right creative.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So what are your options for advertising on YouTube? Take a look at the range of ads and their requirements below.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

Types of YouTube Ads<\/h2>\n

Even though YouTube is a video-oriented platform, there are two types of ads you can use to reach your audience.<\/p>\n

Video ads
\n Non-video ads <\/p>\n

Video ads<\/strong> are what you’d expect. They’re the pre-roll ads that play before a video plays on your computer or mobile device. You can also see them in the sidebar of the Youtube app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Non-video ads <\/strong>are text-based ads that appear on the right side of the screen after you’ve watched a video and are waiting for it to load another one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Both video and non-video ads can be helpful marketing tools. To choose which format you should use, you need to know:<\/p>\n

Who you are trying to reach.
\n Your main goals for the specific advertising campaign.
\n Which format aligns best with the qualities that you want to showcase in your ad. <\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s explore how video and non-video ads work and what options each one offers.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

YouTube In-Stream Ads<\/h3>\n

Most YouTube videos have ads either at the beginning of the video (these can be skippable or non-skippable) or in the middle of the video. These are called pre-roll and mid-roll ads, but they are also known as in-stream ads.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

What we love: <\/strong>In-Stream Ads are great for encouraging viewers to check out your content, and they’re also great at breaking up the monotony of watching long videos on repeat.<\/p>\n

You can also customize these ads with your own branding and messaging, which makes them a great option if you have multiple products or services to promote.<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/h4>\n

Recommended video dimensions: 426 x 240 (240p), 640 x 360 (360p), 854 x 480 (480p),1280 x 720 (720p), 1920 x 1080 (1080p), 2560 x 1440 (1440p) and 3840 x 2160 (2160p)
\n Minimum dimensions: 426 x 240
\n Maximum dimensions: 3840 x 2160
\n Aspect ratio: 16:9
\n Maximum file size: 128GB or 12 hours, whichever is less
\n Accepted video formats: .MOV, .MPEG4, MP4, .AVI, .WMV, .FLV, 3GPP, and WebM
\n The skippable video length max is 6 minutes (skippable after 5 seconds)
\n Non-skippable video length max is 15 or 20 seconds (30 seconds in some regions)
\n Mid-roll video length minimum is 30 seconds <\/p>\n

In-feed YouTube Ads<\/h3>\n

In-feed YouTube ads put your brand in front of your audience’s eyes. How? They identify what your audience is watching and strategically place your ad in their own feeds so they can find you without even noticing.<\/p>\n

In-feed YouTube Ads often appear on a viewer\u2019s recommended and home pages. Their main goal tends to be featuring different products in order to directly generate sales, but they can also be used for different lead generation or brand awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Discovery ads offer another form of in-stream ads. These ads appear in the viewer\u2019s YouTube Home feed, Watch feed, and Search feed. For example, you may search \u201ccooking tutorial\u201d only to find a sponsored recipe at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

With these ads, you can place your content in front of those already searching for similar videos.<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/p>\n

Video requirements: you need a link to which public or unlisted YouTube video you want to promote
\n Image requirements: when creating this ad, the platform allows you to pick from one of four video thumbnails
\n Text requirements: your video headline should be 100 characters maximum
\n Description requirements: No more than to 2 lines with 35 characters each <\/p>\n

YouTube Bumper Ads<\/h3>\n

With bumper ads, you can target specific audiences based on their interests and demographics. These ads are six seconds or shorter, playing before, during, or after another video.<\/p>\n

As an advertiser, you can choose when these videos appear. Plus, viewers don’t have the option to skip the ad.<\/p>\n

Remember: <\/strong>A 300 x 60 image will run with your video ad. Make sure your creative team delivers both your video and image assets.<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/p>\n

Accepted video formats: File format: MP4, Quicktime, AVI, ASF, Windows Media, or MPEG
\n Maximum file size: 1GB
\n Maximum Length: 6 seconds
\n Recommended video dimensions: 640 x 360 or 480 x 360
\n Companion image dimensions: 300 x 60 .jpg, .gif, or .png <\/p>\n

YouTube Display Ads<\/h3>\n

Display ads consist of an image that runs across the top of your screen while you’re watching a video on YouTube. These images may include text and links that allow viewers to click through to take an action such as visiting an advertiser’s website or signing up for their newsletter.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Specs:<\/h4>\n

Maximum image dimensions: 300 x 250 pixels for the larger view
\n Minimum image dimensions: 300 x 60 px for the smaller view

\n Maximum file size: 128GB or 12 hours, whichever is less
\n Accepted video formats include: .MOV, .MPEG4, .MP4, .AVI, .WMV, .MPEGPS, .FLV, 3GPP, and WebM <\/p>\n

Overlay Ads<\/h3>\n

Overlay ads are some of the most common types of ad space on YouTube. They appear over the video’s leading content and can be either horizontal or vertical in format.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Why are overlay ads important? Well, one of their main advantages is that they are free.<\/p>\n

That’s right, you don’t have to pay anything extra for these ads. It’s part of YouTube’s service for anyone who wants to use them. That means these ads are often used as a way to promote products or services, and they’re great for increasing brand awareness.<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/h4>\n

Landscape aspect ratio: 16:9
\n Vertical aspect ratio: 9:16 or square 1:1 or both.
\n Keep within recommended YouTube banner size of 2560 x 1440 px <\/p>\n
