I want to grant items or virtual currency if a player watches my own videos in my game. But I just want to grant rewards if the player has watched a video for the first time. If the player watches a video the second time, then the player receives no rewards.
For example:
1) I want to create an introduction video where I show and explain the controls of my game. This video should be available for all players when I release my game.
2) Some time after the release of my game, I want to add new videos where I show DLC content and updates that will be released at a later date in my game.
Where can I upload the videos? Would it be possible to upload the videos in my PlayFab account?
Is it possible to use rewarded ads for this purpose?

You can certainly use our ad rewards system for your own ads, but to be clear, our service is not an ad mediation or delivery service. It's specifically a way to reward players for watching ads while controlling the number of rewards the player can get, and giving you the ability to tune those rewards based on user segmentation.
If you need a space to host video files for download to the client, our Content service could be used for that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/data/content-delivery-network/
I don't know how to create a new Ad Placement for my own video because I don't have an AppId and Ad unit. What should I insert in the AppId field and in the Ad unit field?
