Recently, YouTube unveiled a new ad style that lets marketers run adverts when users are pausing movies.

When a video is paused, pause adverts show up as banners next to it, allowing advertisers to reach viewers without interfering with their content.
 
Marico, Mondelez, and ITC were among the early users of Disney+ Hotstar, showcasing innovative advertisements such as Savlon's "Germs don't take a pause."

Although the efficacy of pause advertisements is still being assessed, as platforms and businesses investigate their possibilities, it is anticipated that they will play a major role in wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital advertising.
