- To make a creative, you can use your own video, choose one from the library, or use a previously uploaded video (including videos you have used for video extensions). Our experiments have shown that using your own video is 5 times more effective than using a stock video from the library.
You don't need to hire professionals or rent a studio to make your own video. You can film a clip on your smartphone if it has a good camera, buy a video from a stock database, or make an animation using photos of your products. Pay attention to the requirements for video clip content.

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.
