How to generate hosted video HTML5 banners with Genecy MCP

In short: Share a link to your own video file with your connected AI assistant and ask Genecy for an ad banner. You get a ready-to-download HTML file sized for Google Ad Manager.

This guide is for people who already host a brand or product video online (not on YouTube) and want a standard display banner around it. Your AI assistant uses Genecy for you. You only need the video link and the size you need.

What this helps you do

Genecy builds an HTML5 banner that plays your hosted video — typically an MP4 file on a secure web address. You can also mention extra formats of the same video if you have them. By default you get a common mid-rectangle size (336×280) with muted sound on start, looping video, play and mute buttons, and the click setup ad servers expect.

Ask in plain language for another size, button placement, border color, or similar presentation details.

When to use it

  • Your video already lives on your website or CDN and you need a Google Ad Manager banner quickly.
  • You want play and mute controls without building the player yourself.
  • You need the same banner style in more than one size.
  • You already chat with an AI assistant that has Genecy connected.

If the video is on YouTube, use YouTube banners instead. If you already have a finished banner to review, use banner validation.

Before you start

  1. Connect Genecy to your AI assistant. See How to use Genecy MCP with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and other AI agents and Settings → MCP keys.
  2. Host the video on a secure (https) address that viewers and ad systems can open.
  3. Know the banner size and whether Google Ad Manager will supply the click-through URL.

How to create a video banner in chat

  1. Paste the link to your video file in the chat.
  2. Ask your assistant to create a Google Ad Manager banner with Genecy.
  3. Say the size and any preferences (muted start, button corner, border, and so on).
  4. Ask for the HTML file to download or save.
  5. Optionally ask Genecy to check the finished file before you upload it.

You do not need to fill technical fields. Describe the result you want in everyday words.

Example things you can say

  • “Please use Genecy to make a 336×280 Google Ad Manager banner from this video link, starting muted.”
  • “Build a 300×250 banner from this MP4. Leave the click link empty for Ad Manager.”
  • “Create a video banner with controls in the bottom-right corner, thin black border, white buttons.”
  • “Make the HTML file, then ask Genecy to check it before I upload.”

What you will get

  • A complete HTML banner file you can download and traffic;
  • a suggested file name;
  • confirmation of the video link and size that were used;
  • a short summary you can share with a teammate.

Save the HTML and test it in a draft line item before production.

Good to know

  • The video link must stay online and use a secure address wherever the ad will play.
  • Keep the video file reasonably light so publishers can accept the creative.
  • YouTube links belong in the YouTube banner guide, not here.
  • A generated banner still needs your usual trafficking and policy checks.
