Google launches non-skippable Video Reach campaigns for connected TV

Google is rolling out Video Reach Campaign (VRC) Non-Skip ads, expanding how brands reach connected TV audiences on YouTube.

What’s happening. VRC Non-Skips are now live globally in Google Ads and Display & Video 360. Built for the living room experience, they run as non-skippable placements optimized for connected TV (CTV) screens.

Why we care. YouTube has been the No. 1 streaming platform in the U.S. for three straight years, making the TV screen a critical battleground for your brand budget. With guaranteed, non-skippable delivery, you can ensure your full message reaches viewers in premium, lean-back environments.

AI in the mix. Google AI dynamically optimizes across 6-second bumper ads, 15-second standard spots, and 30-second CTV-only non-skippable formats. Instead of manually splitting your budget by format, you can rely on AI to allocate impressions for maximum reach and efficiency.

Bottom line. Advertisers now have a simpler way to secure guaranteed, full-message delivery on the biggest screen in the house — using AI to maximize reach and efficiency across non-skippable formats without manually managing the mix.

Google’s announcement. VRC Non-Skip ads are now generally available, allowing brands to reach TV audiences with Google AI.
