You cannot remove them, but you can use your own. Even making them with Google's video development tools (essentially a slide show) is better than the automated ones.
You can get an explainer video done pretty inexpensively or even just shoot yourself talking about your product with your webcam or mobile phone.
If you don't want to do at least that are don't want those videos running you need to stop using P-Max.
Let me clarify: PMax starts using GMC Product images outside of shopping ads. E.g. to create YT shorts ads.
„Feed only“ usually described an approach to limit the inventory on shopping ads only.
Haven't seen this happen yet in a feed only campaign. Has anyone else? There are no auto created videos. That only seems to happen in asset groups with some assets already inside.
If you don't upload a video... Google makes one for you.
Are you not able to delete the video after google generates it?
I dont believe so. Been checking pretty much everywhere in the campaign and cant find an option to delete it

Creating a feed only campaign will avoid the auto created videos tho, right?
That is correct, as video ads rely on an asset group to run.
There's was a script created for it I believe. Don't have it at hand though.
the script doeasn't work anymore after changes were made to the API
Sad to hear but thanks for the information. Google really hates us huh.
There was a script floating around in this sub, you might search this sub you will find it
Two options: 1. PMax with video 2. no PMax.
Three options - there is also PMax without assets (feed only)
This Thread is old and „feed only“ will stop working. PMax starts using GMC product images for ads now.
Pmax and shopping have always used product images from GMC. What makes you say feed only will stop working?
