Google Ads
Video campaign
A Google campaign that runs a YouTube video as the ad.
A Video campaign runs an ad that is a video, on YouTube and across Google's video partners, charged per view or per thousand impressions depending on the format. The video has to exist on YouTube first (uploaded to your channel, which can be as unlisted, so nobody finds it by browsing), and the campaign references it by its video ID. That is the mechanical detail most people trip over: the ad is not uploaded to Google Ads, only pointed at. Skippable in-stream ads charge when someone watches thirty seconds or interacts, so a video that loses people in the first five seconds costs little and does nothing; the first line of the script is most of the campaign.
