Praveen Sharma, the sales head of Google India said that this new format for ads will ensure that the users get the information they required and also allow the advertisers to get to the potential consumers with right information.

He also mentioned that the research has indicated that a large number of users are seeking to watch the movie trailers and other TV show clips on search results page. This will then translate to high response rates from the ad format.

The video can be played either by clicking on the watch link or the thumbnail during which the Lightbox player will expand to the middle of the screen and then dim the other parts of the screen.
