Reward player for watching a video

Unity Services

Hi guys,

How do I reward a player for watching a UnityAds video?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

You decide. Giving them an extra life, in-game virtual money, new characters etc.

Although not sure I understood your question correct…

From time to time, I want to show player an option to watch a video to get coins. Now the question stands, is there an API for that: like check if video was watched, or force video to be full etc.

Assuming you are integrating ads into a Unity game, in which case we have a simple example on https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/Documentation%20for%20Publishers/Integration-Guide-for-Unity-Asset-Store

I.e. you can pass a callback method when calling Advertisement.Show(), and check if the result was Finished (note: enum value, not string - not obvious from the sample code)

Hope this answers your question.

Hi,

Could you please give me an example on how can I run a function when the video is finished?

Many thanks!

See e.g. c# - resultCallback for Unity Ads to only reward if video finished - Stack Overflow

Using an older version of SDK, so e.g. change isReady() to IsReady(), but otherwise you can use this.

Thanks a lot @rasmus-unity

How do I force player to watch the whole video?

You specify the rewarded zone id (default “rewardedVideoZone” these days) in your call to IsReady() and Show() methods, e.g.

if (!Advertisement.IsReady("rewardedVideoZone"))
{
    Debug.Log("Ads not ready");
    return;
}

Advertisement.Show("rewardedVideoZone", ...);

Alright! It works! Thanks a lot rasmus! :smile:
