    I have a project with Unity ads monetization. It generated some income (like 500$/month), but ecpm is not very high (7$ with mostly usa/uk customers). I do believe it can much higher with mediation. But what is the easiest way to move from unity ads to mediation ? Is there any simple guide ?

    Hi,

    It is very easy actually.

    1. Go to project settings and change the mediation provider to Unity Mediation.
    2. Remove unity ads sdk from your project in editor and download the mediation sdk. Install the adnetwork you wants to integrate with.
    3. Follow the documentation for integrating with other adnetworks.
    4. Use code generation to integrate ads in your game.
    5. Setup waterfall and line items with all these ads provider in dashboard
    6. Test, build and rollout the new app to app store.

    Thanks,
    Mediation team

    Hi astanid,

    To add to the above instructions, you can follow the "Select Unity Mediation as the Mediation Partner in the Dashboard" section of this checklist, for instruction on changing to the right provider.

    Best regards,
    Unity Mediation Team

    Is this possible to have two versions of the the same project in production
    1. with old unity ads
    2. with new mediation
    Will it work or there will be troubles in dashboard ?

    You can have two projects in unity dashboard for the same game afaik. Though in app store you may have only one version of live game so its less about unity dashboard but more about app store. Moving to mediation doesn't affect your live game at all. It will keep serving the ads. I would suggest -
    1. Move your game to mediation in unity dashboard.
    2. Build your app and rollout in app store just with unity ad network.
    3. over the time you can add more adnetwork.
