Allow Admob to show video ads

Question

I have an application that displays interstitial ads, but these are just images, and as a generation living on video, I think it would be useful if Admob also showed video ads.

Do I need to add additional permissions for this? Or what should I do differently?

This is how I show ads,

interstitial = new InterstitialAd(Main.this); // Insert the Ad Unit ID interstitial.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-...442"); //Locate the Banner Ad in activity_main.xml // Request for Ads adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder() // Add a test device to show Test Ads .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) .addTestDevice("") .build(); // Load ads into Banner Ads //adView.loadAd(adRequest); // Load ads into Interstitial Ads Runnable r = new Runnable () { @Override public void run() { interstitial.loadAd(adRequest); } }; runOnUiThread(r); // Prepare an Interstitial Ad Listener interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() { public void onAdLoaded() { // Call displayInterstitial() function displayInterstitial(); } }); 

And only these two permissions;

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> 

Ads are displayed perfectly, but these are only image ads, I want VIDEOS !!

Answer 1

It is not possible to display video ads programmatically in your project / application. However, in the admob console, you can specify the type of interstitial ad types ( Text, Image, Video ) that should be presented in your application.

By default, Text, Image, Video ad types must be enabled for interstitial ads. You can turn off the types of text and image ads if you want to limit only video ads, however, please note that this will lead to a lower fill rate, which will lead to lower revenue. Also note that video ads will not load when users have a poor / slow internet connection when using ap.

Just go to Monetize -> Select your application -> Click the interstitial ad unit -> Enable / disable ad types
