Facebook to Launch Auto-Play Video *** ads *** 
Early Next Year

Reports claim Facebook is on the brink of introducing its most intrusive ad unit yet – auto play video ads in users’ news feeds.

Several TV advertising executives in the US confirmed to Ad Age the social network will make a play for TV ad dollars early next year by introducing video ads to its website and mobile apps.

The ads, which are slated for launch in April, are expected to be 15-seconds long and grab users’ attention by expanding into the left and right columns – the rails – of the desktop website, with plans to ensure they stand out on mobile too.

Some advertisers would prefer to use the 
30-second TV version instead.
