An In-Feed Ad is a video ad that plays inside the For You feed between organic posts.

It looks and behaves like a normal TikTok video. It autoplays with sound, people can like, comment, and share it, and it sits in the vertical scroll rather than sitting in a banner or a separate ad slot. A clickable button and your caption ride along with it.

For example, a viewer is thumbing through the For You feed, hits your product video, and it plays just like the clip before it. If your first second holds them, they watch. If it screams advertisement, they scroll past, same as any other post.

Blending in is the whole job, and the hardest part. Because it competes directly with entertaining organic content, a polished corporate spot often gets swiped away in a second, so In-Feed Ads reward native, casual footage over glossy commercials.

The feed does not care that you paid. You still have to earn the watch.
