Connected TV reporting and forecasting

Reporting availability

You can break out reporting across all standard reports and the Inventory Availability Report for connected TVs by using the Device Type dimension.

For connected devices and set top boxes, the App/URL dimension shows identifiers for individual apps. For the top 9 connected TV app stores (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Xbox, Playstation, Samsung, LG, and Vizio), Display & Video 360 uses standardized app store identifiers to make it easy to identify where your ads served.

For these top stores, you’ll see values in the App/URL dimension formatted like [Name of App - Store (#)], representing the name of the individual app, the store name, and the app ID.

You can learn more about industry-wide connected TV app identifier guidelines in the IAB's OTT/CTV Store Assigned App Identification Guidelines

Cross-Media Reach reporting

Cross-Media Reach reporting is a tool that delivers cross-media insights for digital and TV, and the intersection between the two. 

Cross-Media Reach reporting measures incremental and deduplicated reach, driven by historical campaigns in a single view using trusted third-party TV data and accurate digital data (including CTV). Reports in Cross-Media Reach reporting help you view, organize, and analyze your Cross-Media Reach data. It enables you to visualize meaningful patterns and trends by placing data into multi-dimensional tables and charts.

Cross-device conversions

Display & Video 360 attributes CTV publisher impressions to events on desktop web, mobile web, and mobile app conversion environments. Connected TV cross-device conversions occur when an ad is served on a CTV device but the conversion happens on a non-CTV device, such as a computer or mobile phone. 

Cross-device conversions can be measured using the Cross-Device Conversions report in Display & Video 360. CTV cross-device conversions will populate within the Total Conversions column. Learn more about reporting on cross-environment conversions in Display & Video 360 and reporting on cross-environment conversions in Campaign Manager 360.

  • CTV cross-device conversions are available in the US.
  • CTV conversion attribution uses IFAs. Coverage of IFAs will vary by exchange or publisher.

Co-viewing metrics

Unique reach metrics account for co-viewing, when multiple people watch ads together on connected TV devices. When multiple people view your ad together, this could lead to more impressions and reach for your campaign. 

Co-viewing metrics are available for YouTube video ads on connected TV.
