What is Instream ads?

I Love YTtalk
When you claim your videos, the first 3 boxes are checked, then there is something called:

Instream ad options:
Standard in-stream ads up to 30s in length

This is unchecked by default, should I also check this, what does it do?

Found an article online if you google "what are in stream ads", the top one is pretty helpful
 
There are 2 different kinds of instream ads, and i guess OP referred to the new one that appears after claiming video called:
"Standard in-stream ads"

While: "Overlay in-video ads" and "TrueView in-stream ads" were already with Youtube partnership before and after joining Fulscreen that "Standart in-stream ads" option appeared.

Im wondering too is it kind of new additional youtube ad format or its Fulscreens network ad space that Fulscreen utilizes it independently from Youtube/Adsense or something....

UPDATE:

Here is a quote from google explanation page:

Standard InStream Ads


What are InStream ads?

Standard InStream ads are video ads that may be seen as a pre-, mid-, or post-roll video ad against short or long form partner content viewed on channel or watch pages. They may be up to 30 seconds long, and viewers must watch before watching the selected video. A companion 300x60 ad unit is usually displayed alongside YouTube videos that show InStream ads.
InStream ads are sold on a CPM basis, and may generate higher CPMs than other ad formats on YouTube. They may also result in a higher sell-through rate of ads against your content. The revenue you earn from InStream ads is incremental.

When do InStream ads appear?

A host of dynamic signals, including content type and how a user discovered the video, help determine the best time to serve an InStream ad. Videos longer than 10 minutes may still be subject to the old policy of an InStream ad appearing a maximum of once every 7 minutes.
When we don't have inventory to display InStream ads against your videos, we'll backfill with other ad formats.

So that means they are not skipable by viewer like "TrueView in-stream ads"?
