Greetings Peter,
Aren't any plans to remove the ads. Although they're supposed to be (and have always been
for me) extremely low bandwidth.
How exactly do you know it's the ads? If you're seeing poor video performance it's usually
the result of not being able to directly connect to your contact and then Messenger sends
your webcam through its relay server and performance drastically suffers.
