What is the Greenscreen ad format?

Picture someone talking to camera while a website, screenshot, or graphic floats behind them like a news anchor in front of a weather map. The speaker is filmed against a green screen, then layered over whatever content matters most — a five-star review, your product page, a competitor's site. It's a scrappy, high-signal way to make evidence visible while a real person walks you through it.
