Considerations for video inventory

Video inventory is inventory associated with a particular video player, which may be embedded on more than one website. For example, if a video player from a particular news company is embedded on the site of another publisher, Display & Video 360 will serve impressions to the video player (as represented by the inventory source) and reporting will show the actual site where impression was served. 

If you don't want to serve on the sites where the video player is embedded, use website targeting to explicitly target the sites where you'd like to your ads to be shown. For example, if a video inventory source is for the video site Myvideos.com and you only want your ads to by delivered when the video plays on Myvideos.com, you would need to target Myvideos.com using website targeting to prevent your ads from being delivered when the same video is embedded on other websites.
