Can Bavian create Google Ads Video campaigns on YouTube?
Updated 30 October 2026
Bavian doesn't build Video campaigns, because it doesn't make the video ads they need. You can create one in Google Ads with your own YouTube video, and Bavian takes it over within a day and manages it from then on.
Run a Video campaign with Bavian
- Upload your video to YouTube.
- Create the Video campaign in Google Ads with that video.
- Switch it on in Google Ads.
Bavian takes over every campaign that runs in the account, usually within a day. Because you switched it on yourself, this usually raises your total daily budget by the campaign's daily budget. The total daily budget is the cap you set in Bavian for what all campaign budgets add up to. Bavian can switch the campaign on and off and change its locations.
What Bavian doesn't touch is the video itself, the ads built on it, or the campaign's bidding. Those stay yours in Google Ads.
Good to know
- Bavian's Performance Max campaigns can show on YouTube too, from one budget, and Google can make short videos for them from the campaign's images and text. See Can Bavian create Google Ads Performance Max campaigns?
- To ask Bavian about a Video campaign it took over, write in the chat on the Agent page, for example "Pause the YouTube campaign until December".
