I will share a very quick overview of different Video formats along with some other details about the formats available. 







1. Bumper Ads

Duration- 6-second.  Bumper Ads are both a complement to TrueView in-stream and Google Preferred, while also making an impact as a standalone video solution.

4 formats are available for Trueview Instream

  3. TrueView discovery can help capitalize on key moments of discovery.
  4. TrueView for action allows advertisers to convert attention and intent of YouTube users into action.

No issues even if you are using higher length videos, you will be charged if the user watches the full video or first 30 seconds , whichever is earlier OR If a user takes action from the video — such as clicking to visit your site or downloading your mobile app
