New Sellside Video Publisher Policies
On April 1, our new video publisher policies went into effect. The goal of the policy change is to improve consistency and clarity for publishers, advertisers, and users, to align our policies with the latest industry standards, including IAB Reclassification via the new video.plcmt parameter that we introduced last year. These industry efforts to align the diverse types of video inventory have been a cross-industry global collaboration between SSPs, including Google Ad Manager, alongside multiple DSPs and publishers.
