Currently, YouTube shows two 15-second ads on a video and it allows you to skip with a button.
Google has recently announced that it will start adding very long ads to YouTube videos that people watch on smart TVs. Google is expected to put one 30-second ad on the videos, and it will be unskippable. Currently, YouTube shows two 15-second ads on a video with a skip button, depending on the content they are viewing.
Notably, the new policy is only for people who watch YouTube Select content in the US market, and we are not sure when the same will be applied in other markets. Nonetheless, Google might end up announcing a similar policy in India as well if the new ad policy works well for the company.
In India, even if you don’t get to see a 30-second ad, you will still witness 15-second ads, which can be annoying at times. So, how can you skip those ads on YouTube? Let’s find out.
You can also get free access to the YouTube Music app, which means you do not need to pay for other services like Spotify to listen to ad-free songs.
The membership also supports the PIP feature, which means that you will be able to watch a video while using other apps. In the free version of YouTube, this feature is not available.
