Hello!

I am building a performance asset group, and was wondering if we need to upload all videos to youtube first if we want to use them (because i don't see a VIDEO type asset). Is there any other way to add videos (via REST API) without having to upload on youtube?

Thank you!

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for raising your concern to my team.

With regard to your concern, I am afraid that this is not possible as YOUTUBE_VIDEO asset is the one that the asset group needed. However, creating an asset with this type requires youtube_video_id which means that it should be an existing video in YouTube. With this, I am afraid that you are looking for is not possible

Let me know if you have further questions.
