Hi Josh
I tried creating an ad based on the TrueView template within the Adwords web interface. I can select the YouTube video fill out the form but every time I try and save the ad the error pops up saying "Please correct errors above"
These are the steps I use to produce this problem.
Login to Adwords using my test MCC account
Select one of my client account which I created
Create a Campaign of type "Search Network with Display Select" with "All Features" checked
Enter a daily budget (all other settings are default)
Create Campaign
Create an Ad Group with a default bid (all other settings are default)
On the Ad tab, click the + Ad dropdown, select Ad Gallery
Select Video Ads
Select TrueView in-display video ad
Fill out the Ad form
Add Headline, Description
Select a YouTube video (Looks like you can select any YouTube video) At no point has it asked me to link my YouTube account.
I select a YouTube video that I know about
Select a thumbnail (it selects the first by default)
Give it a name
Hit Save
Get error message "Please fix above errors"
There are no errors to fix
Screens
I have tried this with a proper Adwords account also, same issue. So I can't query for a created ad via the API because it seems I can't even create one. This is all done via the standard Adwords interface (Online Campaigns not Video Campaigns)
Please advise, thanks
Richard
