Overlay Ads are a type of online advertisement that appears on top of a video or webpage content. They are typically semi-transparent and can be closed by the viewer, allowing them to continue watching or reading without interruption. These ads are often used on platforms like YouTube to promote products or services while users engage with their favorite content. These ads are designed to be less intrusive than traditional ads, as they do not completely block the content. Advertisers benefit from Overlay Ads by gaining visibility and potential clicks, while users can choose to interact with the ad or ignore it, maintaining their viewing experience.
