Google announced that they would start making programmatic demand available for AMP Web Stories during November 2020. This will help publishers increase their ad revenue through AMP Web Stories. Currently, only Google Display Ads demand is available to serve ads for Web Stories, with the promise of more demand partners added soon.
The feature is currently in the Beta version, which means that not all publishers will access it through Google Ad Manager.
