Live video events often condense a large volume of high-value inventory into a short amount of time with a limited number of ad breaks. Errors with creatives or line item scan result in lost opportunities across many line items or ad breaks if not quickly resolved.
Real-time video reporting allows you to run a report to quickly view if any ad opportunities for a video event are being lost because of problems with a specific creative, ad unit, or line item.
The "Real-time video" report type allows you to view data within about 2 minutes of ad serving, which allows you to quickly respond to any issues or errors, before the next ad break.

"Total creative serves" include all fallback queries, but "Total responses served" does not consider fallback ads. This can lead to reports having significantly more "Creative Serves" than "Responses."
The report must be manually run and should be used to directly monitor your inventory during events.
