Campaign and workflow updates
Native mobile and desktop Gmail ads now available through Display & Video 360
You can now purchase native mobile and desktop Gmail ads through a new line item type in Display & Video 360. Gmail inventory is native, fully viewable, and brand safe.

Third-party viewability measurement settings now self-service for TrueView line items
You can now set third-party viewability measurement on TrueView line items directly in Display & Video 360 instead of contacting support to implement it on your behalf. If you have a contract with one of three approved third-party viewability measurement providers (IAS, Moat, DoubleVerify), Display & Video 360 support can enable third-party viewability measurement for your advertiser. Once third-party viewability measurement is enabled for your advertiser, you’ll be able to set it on individual TrueView line items. Learn more
In the coming weeks, support will no longer implement third-party viewability measurement per line item.

Campaign Manager Verification sync has been deprecated
Over time, numerous improvements were made to channels, digital content label targeting, and sensitive category targeting in Display & Video 360. Because of these improvements, and declining usage, we’ve removed the ability to sync Campaign Manager Verification settings with Display & Video 360. We recommend using Display & Video 360’s more flexible brand safety targeting settings.
