Catalog product video allows advertisers to upload video assets directly into their catalog at the product or SKU level. Once uploaded, advertisers can leverage the AI in Advantage+ solutions to pinpoint ideal users, deliver impactful content, and ultimately drive conversions. This feature offers several benefits:

• Scaling video creative: Extend existing video production investments across all Meta placements, including Reels, Feed, and Stories.
• Delivering creative personalization: Use machine learning to identify and target high-value customers, delivering personalized and high-performing creative at scale.
• Improving product discovery: Efficiently incorporate video to drive product discovery among broad audiences, capturing attention and driving interest.

To upload videos to your catalog in Meta Advantage+, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your catalog feed file:
   • Add downloadable video URLs to an existing feed or prepare a new feed file using the video[#].url columns.
   • Use the main feed, a supplementary feed, or a third-party feed partner.
   • Add multiple videos with different aspect ratios using multiple columns (e.g., video[0].url, video[1].url, etc.).
   • Optionally, add a custom_label_# column to denote if the product has a video URL.
2. Upload feed file via Commerce Manager:
   • Go to your catalog in Commerce Manager and select “data sources.”
   • Follow the documentation for instructions on how to add and update a primary feed.
   • If using a supplementary feed file, see the guide for updating your feed with a supplementary file.

Advertisers should consider the following best practices when using catalog product video:

• Test and learn: Start testing with a limited set of videos, focusing on top-viewed and top-selling products to gauge impact while conserving resources.
• Shorter is better: Hook your audience within the first 2 seconds and provide a call to action within 5 to 6 seconds.
• Maximize your real estate: Utilize the complete dimensions of each placement to enhance the organic feel of ads and capture more audience attention.
• Follow the creative essentials: Build for vertical video with audio on and stay within the safe zones.
• Experiment with different video types: Connect with Meta Business Partners for video production, from templated solutions to native user-generated content.
