Just like youtube videos, ads is also coming to facebook videos as well, the name is mud-Roll ads. The mid-roll ads will be shown after you've watched a video for 20 seconds. Thankfully they will only be available for videos that are at least 90 seconds long, this may prompt some users to terminate videos when they reach 20s, which is very unlikely.
Such mid-roll ads have so far been tested for live videos, but the new rollout will include all videos on Facebook. Facebook will be sharing ad revenue with the content creators, keeping 45% of all sales for itself - just like YouTube does. For now, this is reportedly just entering the testing phase, but if that proves successful then expect every single video you see on Facebook to become ad-infested pretty soon.
This would represent the first chance many publishers will have at monetizing their Facebook videos. Facebook users are already watching 100 million hours of video per day, so this will also bag the social network some nice amounts of cash.
