YouTube Creative Preview Dimensions for Google Ads
July 9th, 2026
Google Ads reports now include two new dimensions for YouTube creatives: a YouTube thumbnail image (YouTube Preview) and a YouTube watch link (YouTube Preview URL). Add them to Creative Performance, Asset, and Video Performance tables to see a thumbnail of each YouTube video ad and jump straight to the video on YouTube. Both dimensions are derived automatically from the video behind each ad, so there's no extra configuration — select the dimension and it populates alongside your existing Google Ads metrics.
