Select the background video and audio from the library. You will get more conversions if they match the subject of your ad.
It's possible that several advertisers may choose the same video background. If they have the same impression criteria, subject, and target audience, impressions for video ads that use the same video clips will be distributed among users.
For example, a user saw a video ad from the first advertiser. Now the user will see this video clip only in association with this advertiser for 30 days. When the user sees another advertiser's video ad, it will have a different video in the background. The system will change the video's "owner" if the first advertiser pauses their ad or changes the background video.
To increase your reach, you can create multiple video ads with different videos, or use your own video.
Enter the ad title and text, and specify the link to your site in Domain. The domain shown in the creative must match the domain of the landing page. If you are using your own video, and it already has a text and link to your site, you don't have to add them in the Ad Builder.
Set the color for the text and button.
- Enter the age restrictions and required information under Legal information.
The creative must contain all the information required by law and the Yandex rules. The texts in the creative and the domain must meet the same requirements as other ads served through Yandex.Direct.
