    Correct, that is our plan to make it easier for publishers to integrate Ads into games. As I understand other ad networks are working on similar plans, so yes, it's correct to say this is the future.

    We do hope this will make life a bit easier for game developers, help you to focus on developing games, rather than integrating mediation SDKs :)

    Hi @alex1st1

    Yes, this integration is alive and well. You can install the Unity Ads SDK and your application will also be served ads from the Google Ads inventory without any further action needed.

    What is the minimum sdk version for it?
    is com.unity.ads 3.0.3 from package manager ok?
    if I use rewarded and non-rewarded video what would be shown from Google?
    Will unity ad only request video ads from admob and does not show static ads?

    The type of ads shown is independent from the SDK version. 3.0.3 should be totally fine, but I'd recommend you update to a more recent version to take advantage of bug fixes, optimizations, etc.

    There is no difference in the types of videos chosen for rewarded vs non-rewarded ads. You will get ads from Unity as well as ads from Google and other sources for both.

    The format of ad depends on the type of placement when you set up the integration. For example, a video placement will always receive video ads, regardless of which inventory the ad is pulled from.

    Regarding version - the truth is that ads version above 3.0.3 is not working for me - I have Case 1206753 open in fogbugz in December and still no response

    @alex1st1 Sorry to hear the up to date SDK isn't working for you. Do you have the details of the error you get when trying to integrate it? I'd be happy to help you figure it out.

    I'm just getting game crash on mobile.
    I see that Case 1206753 open in fogbugz has an update from unity side on Jan 15th - they say they successfully reproduced the issue and sent in to devs to fix
