Just to be clear, the article has many paragraphs but still doesn't make it clear what is this feature. No it isn't the ability to pause an ad.😂

But ads will show when video is paused. Not a bad idea. Except if I am pausing it because I got a phone call, I don't want the ad blasting from my speakers at full volume.😂
