Product update

New Video Ad format - this enables advertisers and platform partners to incorporate engaging video formats into their Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display campaigns, further expanding our creative portfolio and supporting industry trends in retail media.
- Video Format Support: Users can now upload, import, and serve video assets in addition to static images within the Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display ad types.
- Video Transcoding: Automatically transcode original video uploads (MP4) into multiple ready-to-serve formats (MP4 in 720p/360p, HLS), covering a range of devices, players, and network conditions. This enables seamless playback and removes technical barriers for customers lacking in-house transcoding capabilities.
- Review & Approval: Campaign reviewers can preview video creatives directly within the review UX.
