Connection Flow

To successfully connect on the VidMob platform, the user connecting the ad account must have at least one of the following roles: (Please be sure the email address with the below permissions is the same email address you use to access Creative Studio.)

  1. Read Only

  2. Standard

  3. Admin

On Yahoo DSP UI

Follow the instructions detailed in the Yahoo DSP API Setup & Access Guide.

Important Note: The key and secret is sensitive information. Treat it like a password and do not share it with unauthorized personnel.

Step 1: Sign in to VidMob

Step 2: Go to “Organizations” > “App Store” > click on “Yahoo DSP” card

Step 3: Click “Connect,” enter the “Client ID” and “Client Secret,” then click “Connect” again.

Is VidMob able to edit or adjust campaigns in connected ad accounts?

Rest assured, VidMob only uses a client’s ad account access to download creatives and performance metrics. This allows our tool to show you how creative elements in those ads are impacting performance.

Step 4: After entering your credentials, select the Seats and Advertisers from which you want to retrieve data

Note: Don’t forget to click Save!


To disconnect an ad account, press the "Disconnect" button provided on the account's card.

Note on historical data: By default, newly connected ad accounts begin collecting data from the connection date onward. Historical performance imports are not automatically enabled for all organizations. Up to ~13 months of historical data may be available based on your contract scope — please contact your Account Manager if you need historical data imported.

Then confirm by clicking "Disconnect" once more.
