YouTube has been testing a Pause ads format for over a year now, and it's starting to show up for some users.

    Is its UI adapted to Android TV? Or does it look like on mobile?

      Sadly it’s not, and navigating around it takes a little bit of getting used to (trying to close a video for example is a somewhat counter intuitive). But I’ll take it over adds in youtube. That being said, I used it sparsely, as I don’t have much I want to watch there except play the odd song or maybe one or two other videos a week.
