Error adding video

[Миша Васильев]

Hello! I can't create a video for a universal campaign. I use .Net library v201806. I use the following code:

public static long[] UploadYoutubeVideo()
{
    var videos = new List<string> { "RHwYAB2plr8" };
    using (var mediaService = ServiceFactory.GetMediaService())
    {        
        var media = new Media[videos.Count];
        for (var i = 0; i < videos.Count; i++)
        {
            media[i] = new Video
            {
                youTubeVideoIdString = videos[i],
                type = MediaMediaType.VIDEO
            };
        }
        return (from video in mediaService.upload(media) select video.mediaId).ToArray();
    }
}

Hi,

I'm afraid video media are currently not supported for uploading via the API. However, you could upload your videos using the AdWords UI. Once done uploading your videos via UI, you could get their mediaId using the MediaService.get() and set them to your UACs youtubeVideoMediaIds.

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks and regards,
Luis
