A Short Lecture on Google Video Ads By Kranti Gaurav from XLRI


Video ads are shown only to the people you want and you only pay when they watch. In other words, you won’t waste money advertising to people who aren't interested in your business.

A preview of video ads.

Get your ad live.

Once you create a video, you just need to set up a YouTube account and upload it. Then you can use Google Ads to start your campaign on YouTube. Your video will appear before or next to related videos or in search results.

Choose where your ad will appear.

Whether you’re trying to reach sports fans, music lovers, or anyone else, you can choose your audience based on age, gender, location, interests, and more.

Decide how much you want to spend.

Set your budget and use YouTube’s Analytics tool to see what’s working.

In Google Ads, you can create compelling video campaigns with a range of video ad formats to engage customers in different ways on YouTube and across video partner sites. Available video ad formats include: TrueView in-stream ads, TrueView video discovery ads, and bumper ads.
While video ad content must be hosted on YouTube, video ads can appear on YouTube and on video partner sites and apps across the Google Display Network, including on tablets and mobile devices (depending on your format and settings).
This article describes the benefits of video ads and compares the different video ad formats available. Explore the formats in detail below. You can also learn more about our policies and requirements.
TrueView video ads
With TrueView ads, you don't pay for random impressions or maybe-they-saw-its. You’re only charged when viewers watch or interact with elements of your video. There are two types of TrueView ads: in-stream and video discovery.
Benefits
It's a win-win: Viewers see videos they're curious about, and you get more views from an audience you know is interested. Because you choose what you want to pay for a view, you get the right audience at the right price. Unlike cost-per-impression (CPM) pricing, you won't need to pay every time your ad is shown.
Freedom to customize: You can also run videos longer than 30 seconds, so you can experiment with different formats. You can try longer product demos, customer testimonials, or a how-to video demonstrating your product in action.
Broad reach: TrueView ads can appear on both YouTube and other publisher sites in the Display Ads for desktop computers and high-end mobile devices. Note that video content for TrueView ads must be hosted on YouTube.
TrueView in-stream ads:
When should I use them?
Use this format when you have video content you'd like to promote before other videos on YouTube and across the Display Network.
How does it work?
Your video ad plays before, during, or after other videos. After 5 seconds, the viewer has an option to skip the ad.
Where can the Display Network ads appear?
TrueView in-stream video ads can appear on YouTube watch pages, on videos on partner sites, and apps in the Display Network.
​How will I be charged?
You pay when a viewer watches 30 seconds of your video (or the duration if it's shorter than 30 seconds) or interacts with your video, whichever comes first.
Which campaign goals allow in-stream ads?
Leads
Website traffic
Brand awareness and reach
Product and brand consideration (all)
Campaign created without a goal
TrueView video discovery ads:
This format is formerly known as “TrueView in-display ads.” 
When should I use it?
Use this format to promote a video in places of discovery, including next to related YouTube videos, as part of a YouTube search result, or on the YouTube mobile homepage.
How does it work?
Your ad consists of a thumbnail image from your video with some text. While the exact size and appearance of the ad may vary depending on where it appears, video discovery ads always invite people to click to watch the video. The video then plays on the YouTube Watch page or on your channel page.
Where can the ads appear?
On YouTube search results
Alongside related YouTube videos
On the YouTube mobile homepage
How will I be charged?
You’ll be charged only when viewers choose to watch your ad by clicking the thumbnail.
Which campaign goals allow video discovery ads?
Product and brand consideration
Campaign created without a goal
Bumper ads
Bumper ads are a short video ad format designed to allow you to reach more customers and increase awareness about your brand.
When should I use them?
Use this format when you’d like to reach viewers broadly with a short, memorable message.
How does it work?
Your bumper video ad is 6 seconds or shorter and plays before, during, or after another video. Viewers do not have the option to skip the ad.
Where can the ads appear?
Bumper ads can appear on YouTube videos, or on videos on partner sites and apps on the Google Display Network.
​How will I be charged?
You pay based on impressions. Bumper ads use CPM (cost-per-thousand impressions) bidding, so you pay each time your ad is shown 1,000 times.
Which campaign goals use bumper ads?
Brand awareness and reach
Campaign created without a goal
Outstream ads
Outstream ads are mobile-only (phones and tablet devices) video ads that play on partner websites and within apps.
When should I use them?
Outstream ads are a way of expanding the reach of your video ads on mobile, helping you reach more customers.
How does it work?
Outstream ads begin playing with the sound off. Users tap the ad to unmute. Advertisers are only charged when more than half of the ad screen space is shown for two seconds or more. The format is designed to increase your video reach at an efficient cost.
Where can the ads appear?
One video template can run across a variety of different mobile placements. For mobile web placements outstream ads appear in banners, while for mobile app placements they'll appear in banners, interstitials, in-feed, native, as well as in both portrait and fullscreen modes.
Outstream videos are mobile-only ads that appear on partner sites and apps on the Google Display Network. This ad format isn’t available on YouTube yet.
How will I be charged?
You’re charged for outstream ads based on viewable cost-per-thousand-impressions (vCPM), so you’ll only be charged when someone sees your video play for two seconds or more.
Which campaign goals use outstream ads?
Brand awareness and reach
Campaign created without a goal

Tip: Regardless of the video ad type you choose, it's recommended to add square and vertical videos to engage mobile customers.

Thank you so much Guys.
