# Resource management

In terms of the Yandex Advertising Network, a video resource is a group of video ad display spots on the same platform (site, mobile app, or Smart TV app).

## Creating a video resource {#create-resource}

To create a new video resource, [register](http://partner.yandex.com/form/) in the Yandex Advertising Network and send a request to add a video resource via the [support service](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/support.md). To learn more about becoming a video partner, see [New partners](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/joining/index.md).

After you create a video resource, the **Video ads** section appears in the Yandex Advertising Network interface, and you can view your video resource under **Video ads** → **Video resources**. It'll get a unique ID (`Page ID`) and the **New** status.

After it passes moderation, the video resource status will change to **Working. No statistics**. You can now [create InStream units](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/video/create-instream.md) and [post them on your video resource](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/video/video-ads-integration.md).


{% note info %}

Each resource can host up to 200 active ad units. Move unused units to the [archive](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/video/instream-settings.md#delete).
If you need to use more than 200 units on one resource, contact [support](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/support.md).

{% endnote %}


## Customizing player appearance {#edit-resource}

To customize the appearance of the player on your resource:

1. Go to **Video ads** → **Video resources**.
1. Click **Edit** next to the video resource you want to edit.
1. Go to **Appearance**.

You can download a player skin in the **Skinning** unit if you're using your own player and Yandex Video SDK.

If you're using the Yandex video player, set the following options:

- **Description**: Text to show at the beginning of an ad directly in the player (for example: Thanks to this ad, you can watch this video for free).
- **Time left until ad skip**: Enable or disable the ad countdown.
- **Time left in ad unit**: Set the countdown duration in seconds.

Read more about [supported integration models](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/video/video-ads-integration.md).

## Granting access to a resource {#resource-access}

You can grant access to your platforms in the Yandex Advertising Network interface to any user. A user with the **Partner's assistant** role will be able to view and edit the resource and units, and will also have access to statistical reports.

1. Click **Invite** on the [Invitations](https://partner.yandex.com/v2/inviter/) page, select an invitation language and specify your email address. A link to access the interface will be emailed to that address. Please note that the assistant requires Yandex ID in order to register in the Yandex Advertising Network.

1. Once the assistant clicks the link and signs up:

    1. Go to **Video ads** → **Video resources**.
    1. Find the resource you want to grant access to in the list and click **<svg data-stacking-context="true" aria-owns="i-ua1" width="8" height="18" viewBox="1028 249 8 18" version="1.1" id="svg-1rqomfk4__svg2801" sodipodi:docname="menu-adplatform.svg" inkscape:version="1.2 (dc2aedaf03, 2022-05-15)" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape" xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs id="svg-1rqomfk4__defs2805"/><sodipodi:namedview id="svg-1rqomfk4__namedview2803" pagecolor="#ffffff" bordercolor="#000000" borderopacity="0.25" inkscape:showpageshadow="2" inkscape:pageopacity="0.0" inkscape:pagecheckerboard="0" inkscape:deskcolor="#d1d1d1" showgrid="false" inkscape:zoom="25.732538" inkscape:cx="14.90331" inkscape:cy="8.5106257" inkscape:window-width="1920" inkscape:window-height="1017" inkscape:window-x="-8" inkscape:window-y="-8" inkscape:window-maximized="1" inkscape:current-layer="i-ua1"/><!--Generated by dom-to-svg from https://partner.yandex.ru/v2/context/campaigns/-->
