Ads
Introduction
Plankton's advertising functionality allows you to effortlessly incorporate ads into your Unity games, facilitating game monetization and improving user engagement. In the latest Plankton release, ads can be displayed through three mediation options:
These mediations let you serve ads to your games from multiple sources, so they will maximize your fill rate and increase your monetization by sending ad requests to multiple networks to ensure you find the best available network to serve ads.
Supported Ad Formats:
- Banner
- Interstitial
- Rewarded

Set up your mediation account
Create and set up an account for each ad mediation you want to use.
AdMob
Set up your game in your AdMob account and create your desired ad units. After finishing the setup, you will have a unique AdMob App ID
that is needed later in this guide.
AppLovin MAX
Set up your game in your AppLovin account and create your desired ad units. After finishing the setup, you will have a unique AppLovin SDK Key
that is needed later in this guide.
Unity LevelPlay

You can use different mediations together in your game. For example you can show interstitial ads from AdMob, but show rewarded ads from AppLovin MAX and banner ads from LevelPlay.
Be aware that this multi-mediation feature is only applicable for different ad types, so it's not possible to use two mediations for the same ad type.
