I have created a game which will show a skippable ad after the players has finished a round. However, when I play the game on my phone, or even if I download it from the Play Store, the ad is not skippable and I have to watch it through all 30 seconds or so. Here is the general code for the AdManager:
IEnumerator Start()
{
Advertisement.AddListener(this);
Advertisement.Initialize(playStoreID, isTestAds);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
}
public void ShowSkippableVideo(string scene)
{
sceneToLoad = scene;
if (Advertisement.IsReady())
{
Advertisement.Show("SkippableVideo");
}
else
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneToLoad);
}
}
And then from the game over screen after user press main menu or retry I call on the ShowSkippableVideo. I unity dashboard I have the following settings for my skippable ads:
I thought the last one was supposed to make it skippable after 5 seconds, but there is no X coming up on the video and it is not skippable. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the interstitial ad.
I checked the application from Google Play Store, Snake 3D - Space Adventure, your setting is correct, and able to skip the ad. This means that your dashboard setting is correct and you don’t have to change it.
However, If you are having trouble seeing the skip button on the top-left position, it could be related to a specific device or a specific ad.
To check the problem, could you let me know what device are you using and share the screenshot? After 5 seconds, you could see the skip button on the top left, if you are not seeing it you can touch the screen and it will show up.
Hope this makes sense. I’ll get back to you after your response.
It seems it doesn’t work all the time, I get some rejections from Google Play Console that my apps are not skippable, but only every 3rd time or so that I upload it. It seems like some ads slip through anyway and are not skippable, how come and how to fix?
Hello,
I also have the problem that no skip button is displayed for the adverts. If you press on the advert, it becomes visible. I have already received feedback several times that the adverts cannot be skipped and take too long. I don’t want the user to be forced to watch the long adverts. Most users don’t realise that they can skip the adverts because the button is not visible.
I have this on all test devices so far.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, A5, A40, A52 and Xiaomi 13
On the screenshots you can also see this, once without the button and once with the button after pressing the screen.
Is there a solution for this?
Hello,
I can test it for you. Would you be able to provide me with your Game ID and ad unit/placement IDs? If you don’t want to expose it here, please DM me.
