Why are ads suddenly appearing on my YouTube videos?

As I’ve expressed before, I’m not optimistic a solution will happen. This is clearly something youtube implemented as a way to increase their ad revenues—and of course, to prevent 3rd party apps from gaining free access to their content. Unless Microsoft agrees to some type of compensation to Google (highly doubtful—trillion dollar companies don’t like to part with a dime), we’re just going to have to live with this problem.

I have had the same problem with YouTube videos since the beginning of this school year (8/12/24). It has been disruptive to my English classes and very frustrating. I hope that YouTube and Microsoft will resolve this issue in a manner that will be supportive to all educators who wish to continue using their platforms.

Alyson, I have been doing PowerPoint videos for the last 3 years in our Church. I have never had a pop up ad. Never...

I believe youtube made a deal with Microsoft. This is a new problem. It has not been their policy. That is what utube told me.

Very frustrated.

One suggestion I received was to download the video to my device, as it's believed that this method won't result in pop-up ads.

I hope this helps; I cant figure out how to download it to my device.

Im working on it. It just downloads on Utube.

Thanks for checking that, Christopher. Another bit of info added to the Collection for the Common Good.

My problem is the same
