Banner Ads - Do they change/refresh automatically?

Unity Services
1

Hi,

I just want to clarify something for banner adverts.

I have banner ads showing correctly in test mode following the unity banner ads integration guide. Once we have started the coroutine and have an advert to show we call:

Advertisement.Banner.Show (placementIdBA);

Can somebody point me to any reading material on:

  • Once called - how long does a banner advert display for
  • Does the banner advert automatically change/refresh to a new advert over time

Many thanks,

Stephen.

Banners do refresh as long as they are shown on screen. This generally happens every 30 seconds, although you might see the same ad repeat depending on ad availability in your region.

I have had the same banner ad showing for 7 min and counting. I even switched scenes multiple times. I am in the United States. I don’t think the same ad showed 14+ times in a row.
Could I have switched refresh off somewhere?

@tjbarrott did you resolve this? I have the same issue. It doesn’t really refresh.

UnityBanners it does refresh but is deprecated, so BannerView it doesn’t.
Did you resolve this? v4.4.1

Even after switching scenes, I’m unable to see a different ad. The same ad appears again and again. I don’t know what went wrong. Maybe by a mistake I turned off refresh. Is there any to help me out please? I’d really appreciate if someone point me to any helping material.

Hi, Banner refreshing is automatic and cannot be disabled. Banners do call the refresh once every 30 seconds. However, in areas with limited banner availability, it is very likely you will see the same ad.
If you are consistently seeing the same banner, even after restarting your app then it is likely that the specific banner ad you are seeing is performing particularly well in your region.
