Square and vertical video ads appear on YouTube

Posted on by Lilly Dickinson

YouTube launches vertical ads. You can use vertical video ads in TrueView and Universal App campaigns.

According to Google, more than 70% of users watch YouTube videos from mobile devices. To effectively engage these viewers, you need to show them an easy-to-view ad format – square or vertical.

What will change

When the viewer sees the ad, the video player adjusts itself to its size. Vertical videos when shown can cover 75% of the screen, and when deployed – 100% of the screen, clarified in YouTube.

One of the first companies to test the format was Hyundai: vertical advertising helped the automaker increase brand awareness by 33% and sales by 12%.

YouTube vertical video ad formats

If you want your video ads to display optimally on different devices and for different users, we recommend using different videos for your ad campaigns:

  • Landscape 16: 9 for horizontal viewing.
  • 9:16 portrait or 1: 1 square for vertical viewing.

Text on vertical video

YouTube automatically resizes videos, regardless of whether the video is square, vertical, or landscape.

Therefore, if you will be placing text on a video, do not place it in the top 10% and bottom 25% of the screen, as these areas are most often cropped.
