Google Adwords, now has a new format for ads. Called In-Stream ads, these ads vary slightly from the existing video ads, which are now called In-page video ads.


These new In-stream ads will appear on the Google content network like the inpage ads, as well as in Google Videos. These will be like advertisements on a television, appearing in between a streaming video.

While making the ad, you are required to upload a new video for your ad or even use an existing inpage video ad. You can also use a logo for your product/service and have a 25-35-35 text ad which is clickable (I'm not sure if the textual portion is the only click-able portion of the ad).

I don't think Video ads have taken off too well, atleast in India. I have not come across any Google video ads while surfing. I wonder how the response for these new Instream ads will be like.


Question is, do they/will they ever appear on YouTube?
