YouTube is trying to make commercials great again with longer, fewer ad breaks

The YouTube app listing on the Google Play Store, running on a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

What you need to know

  • The YouTube app on TVs will start showing less advertisements, but they'll be longer in length. 
  • While the current Skip Ad button comes after about 5-10 seconds, this new format could mean users need to wait a full minute before skipping. 
  • In a related move, YouTube Shorts will now have ads in the TV app.
