Examples of unacceptable implementations:
As stated in our program policies, we may not show Google ads on pages that violate our video policies. All Sticky Video Player Implementations must start out as an in-page video player that is not sticky. As the user scrolls the page, the video should transition from playing in the in-page video player to playing in a sticky video player, which remains in view as the user scrolls the page. The in-page video player must be fully viewable on the page before transitioning to the sticky video player. If the sticky video player has more than one edge overlapping in-page video ad content, in-page ad content, or in-page navigation, the sticky video player must include a dismissal feature. The dismissal feature must be visible without needing the user to hover over or tap on the video.
Tips: check if the video player on your site respects all the above statements, if not fix the behavior of the player, then wait until the violation will disappear from the policy center or request a review.

This fact speaks for itself; what I would like to call out is the exceptional level of attention and support that they provide to their clients. It would be a true challenge to find a more responsive or knowledgeable team anywhere in the industry.”
