Google adds direct video upload and social-sourced videos to PMax campaigns
5 days ago
Google PMax campaigns now allow direct video uploads in the "edit assets" interface without needing YouTube, storing videos in a Google-managed "House channel" with limitations like no analytics or custom thumbnails. Using YouTube brand channels is preferred. Google also suggests videos from social ads via Pathmatics, a marketing intelligence platform, for use in PMax and Demand Gen campaigns, but no help page exists yet for this feature.
