Yes, Facebook allows companies to create video ads. If you're wondering how to block Facebook video ads, you can do the following: Use an ad blocker: Many of the ad blockers we recommend, including Total Adblock, NordVPN Threat Protection, and uBlock Origin, can help you block Facebook video ads. Update your Facebook ad preferences: This won't fully remove video ads on Facebook, but can help you see fewer ads containing certain types of content. Skip the ad: One trick is to tap the comments section below the video when an ad starts playing, then open a commenter's Facebook profile by tapping on their name, and using the back button to return to the video.
