A sufficient load of content is essential. You must have good content that has a certain number of views. Google says, “Have a high quantity of video content. That is, more than 40% with over 2,000,000 video impressions per month.”

That is a significant roadblock for many smaller websites and app owners. As it turns out, AdSense for Video is primarily aimed at large-spectrum ad agencies that monetize a lot more than one app or site with lots of video content and strong impressions.

It is unlikely that a small blog with only a handful of videos per month will have enough traffic to allow you to apply.

Next, you will need to know the technical specifications. A video player must be compatible with VAST 3.0 or VPAID 2.JS. Talk to the person responsible for implementing your video content if you are unsure.
