How Netflix’s Ad-Supported Plan Will Work

According to a blog post published by Netflix, the initial commercials will run for 15 to 30 seconds and will appear before or during viewing. Ads will play for roughly 4-5 minutes per hour on average. Netflix will roll out advertisements throughout the majority of its library, while a select few TV episodes and movies will be exempt from this due to licensing restrictions.

Netflix’s “basic with advertisements” package will only allow users to stream in 720p and not download any content. As far as current Netflix subscriptions go, nothing will change. The ad-supported plan will go out sometime next month, though when it will be made available to Indian customers is still unknown. There are currently three Netflix subscription tiers available: Basic, Standard, and Premium.

In a blog post, Netflix explained that Basic with Ads presents an interesting potential for advertisers because it allows them to access “a varied audience,” including younger viewers who increasingly don’t watch linear TV, in a premium setting with a seamless, high-resolution ads experience.
