About over-the-top line items

- An over-the-top publishers collection: You'll see a pre-selected collection that includes publishers that serve in-stream video inventory on connected TV devices, allowing you to easily buy the premium digital TV inventory you're looking for at scale.
- Pre-selected targeting: Targeting settings like apps & URL, position, video, and device are set for you to reflect digital TV inventory.
- Budget and pacing guardrails: You'll only see options that are supported by connected TV ads.
