Does Microsoft Performance Max Support Video Ads?
No — Microsoft's Performance Max doesn't currently support video assets, unlike Google's.
What it means
Unlike Google's Performance Max, which can include YouTube-hosted video as one of its asset types, Microsoft's Performance Max campaigns don't currently support video assets at all. Some other Microsoft ad formats support video separately, but not within Performance Max itself.
Why it matters
If you've built out video creative for a Google Performance Max campaign and expected to reuse it on Microsoft's equivalent, that's not currently possible — it's a real platform gap, not a setup mistake on your end.

Can I add the same video assets to my Microsoft Performance Max campaign that I use on Google?
No — Microsoft's Performance Max doesn't support video assets yet. Ask datanephew to check what asset types your Microsoft asset group currently accepts before assuming a video upload should be possible.
