You can run your audio episodes with no ads and keep earning from your video at the same time. Remove every ad position from your audio setup, and video carries on with its own.
Turning off audio ads
- Open your podcast and go to Monetization, then PAID.
- Find your ad positions for audio.
- Switch off pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll.
With no positions left, there is nowhere for an audio ad to go, so your audio episodes play clean.
What happens to your video
Nothing. Video episodes keep their own layout of one pre-roll, automatic mid-rolls and two post-rolls, and they keep earning your 70% share. Audio settings and video ads are handled separately. Read how PAID works for the wider picture.
Important: Switching off your audio positions also ends your audio ad revenue. Only your video keeps earning.
Blocking particular advertisers instead
If the goal is control over what gets advertised rather than fewer ads, excluding ad categories may suit you better. How video ads and revenue work explains the video side. Category exclusions apply to your audio and your video, so they cover both.
