    from the example in Unity document, Advertisement.Load was called after Initialize process is finish.

    but from this post, They said downloading process will start after Initialize process is finish, with out the need to call Advertisement.Load
    https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-does-unity-ads-works-with-memory.500027/

    and from my test in both Test Ads & Real Ads, Video Ads is working perfectly fine with out calling Advertisement.Load

    so do we really need to call this function?

    Hi Bodin,

    When you set enablePerPlacementLoad as true, you need to load and show ads each time manually. If it is set as false, it will automatically load different types of ads, and you do not need to load manually. You can directly show the ads.

    Hello,

    Ads 4.1.0 have the same case, ads can show with out Advertisement.Load, but 4.1.0 Initialize function do not have enablePerPlacementLoad, do we still need to call Advertisement.Load?

    I think it necessary at the first time for load, then automatic. I think so.
    But I use Load().

    Its safe to put the Load call inside the callback OnUnityAdsShowStart(string placementId) ?

    @KaOzz I'd recommend calling it in the OnUnityAdsShowComplete rather than the Show Start callback.

    In this case, also in OnUnityAdsShowFailure?
