Instagram Threads, Meta’s rival to X (formerly Twitter) will soon start testing video ads. The company made the announcement at IAB NewFronts, an industry event where social media companies and advertisers pitch themselves.

In a blog post, the company said that a “small number” of advertisers will be able to test 16:9 or 1:1 creative video ads in between pieces of organic content. “We’re testing video ads on Threads so businesses can expand their reach and engage with their audience in a familiar way across multiple platforms.” However, there is still no news about the pricing or frequency of these ads.

Video ads on Threads isn’t a new concept, as other Meta owned social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest have been showing them for quite some time now.
