Por fim, clique em Criar para salvar seu bloco de anúncios.
Adicionar um canal
Assim que o projeto for criado, navegue até Monetização > Posições. Para criar um novo canal, clique em Adicionar canal para seu bloco de anúncios.
Preencha os detalhes necessários e clique em Adicionar canal.
Anote o ID da posição.
Localizar a chave da API Unity Ads Reporting
Lances
Esta etapa não é necessária para integrações de lances.
Cascata
Além do ID do jogo e do ID da posição, também serão necessários os campos Chave de API do Unity Ads e ID principal da organização para configurar sua Ad Manager o ID do bloco de anúncios.
Navegue até Monetização > Configuração > Gerenciamento de APIs e anote da chave de acesso da API Monetization Stats.
Em seguida, navegue até Monetização > Configurações da organização e anotar do ID principal da organização.
Ativar modo de teste
O modo de teste pode ser ativado no Painel do Unity Ads. Na conta do configurações, selecione a guia Teste.
É possível forçar o modo de teste para seu app clicando no botão de edição ao lado Google Play Store , marque Substituir modo de teste do cliente e selecione Forçar modo de teste a ATIVADO (por exemplo, usar anúncios de teste) para todos os dispositivos.
Se preferir, ative o modo de teste para dispositivos específicos clicando no Botão Adicionar dispositivo de teste.
Preencha o formulário e clique em Salvar.
Step 2: Set up Unity Ads demand in Ad Manager UI
Definir as configurações de mediação para seu bloco de anúncios
Faça login na sua conta do Ad Manager.
Acesse Exibição > Grupos de rendimento e clique no botão Novo grupo de rendimento.
Insira um Nome exclusivo para o grupo de rendimento, defina o Status como Ativo, selecione o Formato do anúncio e o Tipo de inventário como App para dispositivos móveis.

Add Unity Ads to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list
Siga as etapas em Configurações do GDPR e Configurações das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA para adicionar Unity Ads à lista de parceiros de anúncios do GDPR e das regulamentações estaduais dos EUA na Ad Manager IU.
Step 3: Import the Unity Ads SDK and adapter
Android Studio integration (recommended)
In your app-level build.gradle.kts
file, add the following implementation
dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the Unity Ads SDK
and adapter:
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.0")
implementation("com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads:4.12.1")
implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:unity:4.12.2.0")
}
Manual integration
Download the latest Unity Ads SDK (
unity-ads.aar
) from their GitHub repository and add it to your project.Navigate to the Unity Ads adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the Unity Ads adapter's
.aar
file, and add it to your project.
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Unity Ads SDK
EU consent and GDPR
Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.
In SDK version 2.0.0, Unity Ads added an API to support privacy settings. The following sample code shows how to pass this consent information to the Unity Ads SDK. Should you choose to pass consent information to the Unity Ads SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
Java
import com.unity3d.ads.metadata.MetaData;
// ...
MetaData gdprMetaData = new MetaData(this);
gdprMetaData.set("gdpr.consent", true);
gdprMetaData.commit();
Kotlin
import com.unity3d.ads.metadata.MetaData
// ...
val gdprMetaData = MetaData(this)
gdprMetaData["gdpr.consent"] = true
gdprMetaData.commit()
See Unity Ads' Privacy Consent and data APIs and Complying with GDPR guides for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.
US states privacy laws
U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.
In SDK version 2.0.0, Unity Ads added an API to support privacy settings. The following sample code shows how to pass this consent information to the Unity Ads SDK. Should you choose to pass consent information to the Unity Ads SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
Java
import com.unity3d.ads.metadata.MetaData;
// ...
MetaData ccpaMetaData = new MetaData(this);
ccpaMetaData.set("privacy.consent", true);
ccpaMetaData.commit();
Kotlin
import com.unity3d.ads.metadata.MetaData
// ...
val ccpaMetaData = MetaData(this)
ccpaMetaData["privacy.consent"] = true
ccpaMetaData.commit()
See Unity Ads' Privacy Consent and data APIs and Complying with CCPA guides for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.
Step 5: Add required code
No additional code is required for Unity Ads integrations.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Ativar anúncios de teste
Registre seu dispositivo de teste em Ad Manager e ative o modo de teste na Unity Ads interface.
Verificar anúncios de teste
Para verificar se você está recebendo anúncios de teste do Unity Ads, ative os testes de uma única origem no Ad Inspector usando as Unity Ads (Waterfall) origens de anúncios.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Unity Ads,
publishers can check the underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses()
under the following classes:
com.google.ads.mediation.unity.UnityAdapter
com.google.ads.mediation.unity.UnityMediationAdapter
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the UnityAds adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Reason |
---|---|
0-10 | UnityAds SDK returned an error. See code for more details. |
101 | UnityAds server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid. |
102 | UnityAds returned a placement with a NO_FILL state. |
103 | UnityAds returned a placement with a DISABLED state. |
104 | UnityAds tried to show an ad with a null context. |
105 | Context used to initialize, load and/or show ads from Unity Ads is not an Activity instance. |
106 | UnityAds tried to show an ad that's not ready to be shown. |
107 | UnityAds is not supported on the device. |
108 | UnityAds can only load 1 ad per placement at a time. |
109 | UnityAds finished with an ERROR state. |
200-204 | UnityAds Banner specific error. See code for more details. |
