Do I have to use UnityAds, or can I play my own videos?

    Hi everyone.

    Recently I have been tasked by my supervisor to integrate ads into the game in a few different ways, one of the ways is that partnering companies will provide videos to our team, which we then put into the game. Players have an option to watch one of the videos for rewards, and the game plays it it via the Video Player. It's just like any other rewarded ad mechanically.

    My question being, will this cause any problems with either Unity, Google or even Apple? Do I HAVE to use an API like AdMob or UnityAds? I'm wondering if there's any repercussions of doing this that our team hadn't considered.

    It won't cause any problems with Unity. If you did use Unity Ads, you would have to comply with our Terms of Service:

    When submitting to the app stores, you will have to make sure your app complies with all of their content policies:
