Best practices include:
- Use 16:9 aspect ratio for TV screens, as most YouTube TV viewers watch on connected TVs.
- Avoid using standard definition (SD) for optimal quality.
- Ensure all creative assets are high-resolution and meet the technical requirements for smooth playback across devices.
- Maximum File Size: 256 GB
