(Updated Feb. 5, 2020) Top Perks of Audience Network’s In-Stream Video as Placement in Reach and Frequency Buying

Update FEB. 5, 2020: Facebook shuts down Audience Network web and in-stream placements.


Today Facebook announced that it will no longer offer the Audience Network web and in-stream placements starting April 11. 


In the announcement, the social media company cited demand as the reason for this change. Facebook says, “We see growing demand from partners, which is in other formats across mobile apps.”


Facebook warns advertisers that their ad results may fluctuate between today and April 11. The company also says it will stop responding to bid and ad requests for web and in-stream placements.


Facebook outlines the next steps for advertisers in preparing for this change:




If using demand partners or a mediation platform, remove Audience Network from the setup


Remove Audience Network from waterfall and bidding integrations


Remove all web and in-stream ad placements


Contact integration partner about the web and in-stream placement phase out


Account holders will still be able to access their data and reports 6 months after April 11. They can also still access their Monetization Manager accounts. 


Those with pending final payments will receive them on the 22nd of the month.
