placement id in unity ads

In unity ads there are three types of placement ids
1. Non - rewarded video ads to show basic interstitial ads or promotional content. Non-rewarded Placements allow players to skip the ad after a specified period of time.  

2. Rewarded video ad to allow players to opt-in to viewing ads in exchange for incentives. Rewarded Placements do not allow the player to skip the ad.

3. Banner ad placement 

you can use whatever you want

Banner ad example script

In your Placement script header, declare the UnityEngine.Advertisements namespace, which contains the Banner class. Next, initialize the SDK and use Banner.Show to display a banner ad.
using System.Collections; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.Advertisements; public class BannerAdScript : MonoBehaviour { public string gameId = "1234567"; public string placementId = "bannerPlacement"; public bool testMode = true; void Start () { Advertisement.Initialize(gameId, testMode); StartCoroutine(ShowBannerWhenInitialized()); } IEnumerator ShowBannerWhenInitialized () { while (!Advertisement.isInitialized) { yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); } Advertisement.Banner.Show (placementId); } }

Banner ad position
Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition (BannerPosition.TOP_CENTER);


Interstitial display ad script example

using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.Advertisements; public class InterstitialAdsScript : MonoBehaviour { string gameId = "1234567"; bool testMode = true; void Start () { // Initialize the Ads service: Advertisement.Initialize(gameId, testMode); } public void ShowInterstitialAd() { // Check if UnityAds ready before calling Show method: if (Advertisement.IsReady()) { Advertisement.Show(); } else { Debug.Log("Interstitial ad not ready at the moment! Please try again later!"); } } }

call ShowInterstitialAd() function where you want to show ad.

Rewarded Video Example Script
using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.Advertisements; public class RewardedAdsScript : MonoBehaviour, IUnityAdsListener { string gameId = "1234567"; string myPlacementId = "rewardedVideo"; bool testMode = true; // Initialize the Ads listener and service: void Start () { Advertisement.AddListener (this); Advertisement.Initialize (gameId, testMode); } public void ShowRewardedVideo() { // Check if UnityAds ready before calling Show method: if (Advertisement.IsReady(myPlacementId)) { Advertisement.Show(myPlacementId); } else { Debug.Log("Rewarded video is not ready at the moment! Please try again later!"); } } // Implement IUnityAdsListener interface methods: public void OnUnityAdsDidFinish (string placementId, ShowResult showResult) { // Define conditional logic for each ad completion status: if (showResult == ShowResult.Finished) { // Reward the user for watching the ad to completion. } else if (showResult == ShowResult.Skipped) { // Do not reward the user for skipping the ad. } else if (showResult == ShowResult.Failed) { Debug.LogWarning ("The ad did not finish due to an error."); } } public void OnUnityAdsReady (string placementId) { // If the ready Placement is rewarded, show the ad: if (placementId == myPlacementId) { // Optional actions to take when the placement becomes ready(For example, enable the rewarded ads button) } } public void OnUnityAdsDidError (string message) { // Log the error. } public void OnUnityAdsDidStart (string placementId) { // Optional actions to take when the end-users triggers an ad. } // When the object that subscribes to ad events is destroyed, remove the listener: public void OnDestroy() { Advertisement.RemoveListener(this); } }

Use ShowRewardedVideo() function to show rewarded video ad
use OnUnityAdsDidFinish() for custom results.
