How to use videos
You can add a video to Text & Image and combinatorial ads. Learn more about using videos in Yandex Direct Help.
You can use the video's ID to add it to multiple ads at once, even to those that belong to different ad groups or campaigns. The video and the ad must belong to the same username (advertiser).
Restriction
Currently, Direct Commander does not support creating, editing, or viewing videos.
For a combinatorial ad, there's an option to add a maximum of 6 videos. You can upload only 2 versions of horizontal, vertical, and square videos. Recommended aspect ratios are 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9.
