Video ads now run in campaigns
A video made in Video Studio, or by your assistant, can now run as an ad on video players across websites and apps, with the same review and reporting as a banner.
November 2, 2026. Videos you make here are no longer only downloads.
Run a video as an ad
- In Video Studio, open Export and choose Use as a video ad on any export that passed its checks. Or ask your connected assistant to submit the render.
- The video gets the same review as a banner: we check the landing page, then the ad exchange reviews the video. It is prepared in several sizes so it plays well on phones and computers.
- Start a campaign with the approved video. It runs on video players across websites and apps, and never on connected TVs, where nobody can click through to your page.
- Reporting, spend, budgets, and pausing work exactly as they do for banner campaigns.
Good to know
- A campaign runs either banners or videos. To run both, use two campaigns.
- Landscape (16:9) videos fit most website video players; vertical (9:16) videos fit phone apps. Export the shapes you want to run and submit each one.
- Video ads run 5 to 60 seconds.
Connector tool: submit_video_creative (after render_video). The REST route is POST /creative/video.
