What ads can be served to AMP pages and Web Stories?
AMP works only with ads that do not cause content reflow. Therefore, some formats like interstitials or auto-expandables are unsupported in AMP. See a list of supported ads capabilities in AMP.
Banners and boxes do not integrate well with the Web Story format and benefit from a conversion of existing mobile or portrait creatives into Story ads.
