Sticky video rules simplified — placement now more flexible for publishers seeking revenue optimization
Google AdSense Removes Video Placement & Sticky Requirements
Original: Google AdSense Videos Placement & Sticky Requirements Removed
Importance: 既存AdSense動画パブリッシャーの運用に直接影響するポリシー簡素化だが、新規機能追加ではなくルール緩和のため広告収益に大きな増加をもたらすものではない
Summary
Google updated its AdSense Video inventory restrictions policy on October 22, 2026, removing two placement requirements. Previously, publishers had to ensure Accompanying Content loaded within the page body and sticky video players started in main content before transitioning. These restrictions are now lifted, allowing more flexible video player placement. Content violating other inventory restrictions may still receive reduced advertising.
Key Points
- Removed requirement for Accompanying Content to load within page body
- Removed sticky player start-position and transition-timing requirements
- Publishers now have more flexibility in video player placement design
- Other inventory restrictions remain in force
