Google has outlined exactly what advertisers need to do to run campaigns on YouTube TV – from eligible formats to booking options – in a newly published help page.

Key details. From the help document:

  • Campaigns that meet eligibility rules can be booked via reserved media placements, Google Ads, or Display & Video 360.
  • Auction formats include 15-second non-skippable and 6-second bumper ads bought on tCPM, plus 30-second skippable in-stream ads on tCPM.
  • All ads must be free of music rights claims.
  • All categories are eligible if they comply with Google Ads and YouTube TV policies; political ads require additional verification and disclosures.
  • Creative review is mandatory before ads can serve.

Why we care. The help doc gives advertisers a one-stop reference for ensuring campaigns meet YouTube TV’s standards — potentially reducing delays and avoiding compliance issues.

Bottom line: By following the newly published guidelines, you can more easily unlock YouTube TV’s big-screen audience while confidently navigating policy, rights, and format requirements.

First seen. This new help doc was first spotted by PPC News Feed founder Hana Kobzová.
