What Facebook's UI Overlaps on Your Ad
Coverage and measurement basis
Facebook Stories video reserves 14% at the top and 20% at the bottom; its placement guide does not specify side reserves. Stories images reserve 14% top, 35% bottom and 6% sides. Reels retain the deeper lower-right exclusion. Reels ads with disclaimers need the full bottom 40% clear. Feed overlays are AdKit layout buffers.
