Create and edit video content bundles

This is the new version of content ingestion and metadata management for Video Solutions.
With this version, you can target and filter based on your metadata after ingestion, without having to manually map and activate the data. Line items targeting one or more CMS metadata sources take up to 24 hours to start delivering impressions.

You can view the migration guide, or contact your account manager for information.

You can no longer map key-values to content metadata.

---

The targeting picker doesn't allow you to save content key-values (mapped metadata) from the "Custom targeting" type menu (since March 1, 2022).

Publishers that need to work around this can either:

• Target CMS metadata instead, or
• Add the key-value to cust_params so Ad Manager detects the key-value in the ad request

While you can target ads to individual videos based on the information ingested from your content management system (CMS), Ad Manager also allows you to group videos into bundles, and target ads to the bundles.

Bundles are dynamic, meaning that if any new video content is added to your feed that matches the rules set up in your bundles, they're automatically added to the bundle.

Every video content bundle displays videos included based on the rules you've specified, and allow you to manually exclude certain videos. The video content list page allows you to manually include content in a bundle.

Create a new content bundle based on a set of rules

1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
2. Click Video  Content  Content bundles.

3. All of your existing video content bundles are displayed on this page.

   By default, 20 content bundles are shown, filtered by an "Active" serving status. You can remove or add filters to only view certain content bundles, and configure the page to display up to 100 videos.

4. Click New content bundle  and configure your bundle rules to either include or exclude video content based on things like the video title, ID, or any ingested or custom content metadata.
5. (Optional) Manually exclude content from the content bundle.

Content must have an "Active" serving status and receive an ad request in the last 60 days to display in content bundles. Content that did not receive an ad request in the last 60 days may still display in content bundles whose rules have since been changed to exclude that content.
