When do Facebook ads appear in your video?

Unlike YouTube that uses pre-roll ads that appear at the beginning of the video, Facebook reportedly avoids this model and have gone with a mid-roll video ad model. This means that Facebook ads will only appear after 20 seconds from the start of the video.

We think that this model was chosen because Facebook videos automatically start when scrolling through your screen and Facebook probably didn’t want to annoy everyone with video ads appearing in the Facebook stream as they scroll past. This is the reason why Autoplay videos are only eligible if the video player is the main element of the page.
