Google is testing new ad formats, including expandable sponsored ads and in-ad search refinements. The expandable ads initially hide some content, requiring users to expand them to view more through a carousel. Additionally, in-ad search refinements allow users to adjust their search directly within the ad offering more control but may require advertisers to adapt strategies for better visibility.
SOCIAL MEDIA
🤏 YouTube Introduces Authentic Video Labels
YouTube is rolling out a “captured with a camera” label that verifies if videos are recorded with real cameras and unaltered audio and visuals using the C2PA standard. It helps users identify authentic footage, increasing transparency about content origins. The label appears only with devices supporting C2PA version 2.1, ensuring significant edits or unsupported tools don’t disrupt the authenticity chain.
