Category: Video / Owned Media

What it does

Connects to the YouTube Data API to authenticate a channel and upload videos as the source-of-truth asset that can later be referenced by Google Ads / DV360 video campaigns. Pencil does not create or launch YouTube ads or campaigns.

User benefit

Marketers can publish Pencil-produced videos directly to their brand's YouTube channel as the source asset for paid video activations, without manual upload.
