Google has launched A new ad format for Google AdSense ad units, called "full-screen inline ads". Full-screen inline ads are full-screen banner ads that appear inline with your content when the user scrolls down the page.

According to Google, these ads appear below the fold in automatic ad placements and responsive ad units. AdSense publishers don't have to do anything to display them, Google said that "if you have appropriate ad placements, full-screen inline ads will automatically start appearing on your site."

Here's a GIF of the full-screen online ads in action:
