Unity Ads for Windows Store Apps

So, I have been making a 2D game via Unity and had noticed that Unity helps with advertisements. I see that going about adding ads to your game or app would require obtaining your game ID. When trying to add my game to my profile it only gives me the option to add an IOS or Android game. Mine however, is a Windows Store app (soon to be placed on android and hopefully IOS)

My question would be, would using the unity ad plugin found in the instructions here work in a Windows Store app? If not, how would I go about adding ads to a Windows Store app?

Thank your for any help in advance.

 

Unfortunately we don't offer support for Windows Store apps at this time. For the time being, Unity Ads only supports iOS and Android.

 

Have you got any plans to support for Windows Store apps in future?

 

Yes, I'd soooo love to see other platforms supported by Unity Ads.

I mean, think about it. Unity is THE engine for building your game, and getting it to work on all sorts of platforms.
Why can't the Ads system (and I'm sure there's a logical reason, which I'm not aware of) be made to work of on all sorts of platforms too? (Then, you can run your game and the ads on Blackberry, Playstation, Windows, IOS, Android, etc. ? )

Maybe, I need to add this as a feature request... (Gone to look.)

 

What if u upload in windows app store aplication with unity ads.
1. U will be banned or
2. Simple ads dont showing in windows phone?

 

There will simply be no ads. Ads functionality is only available if you compile for Android or iOS. You can use UNITY_ADS conditional define to know if Ads is supported/enabled on the platform, to avoid compilation errors.

 

looks like there are plenty of votes, is there any official plans yet?
even more votes here

 

I curious about this too, when will Unity Ads be released for Windows 10?

 

No immediate plans. You need to look for other ad networks in that case.

@rasmus-unity Thank you for the information

 

@rasmus-unity , any news about that?

 

We have an application with vungle in windows. Its like Unity Ads, easy to configure, but more hard to get some revenue. Its a few people using unity ads.

 

@MrPacoGP
Are you still using Vungle or are you using anything else? Is it possible to use Native Microsoft Ads, now they have Video Ads. Please, any info would be very appreciated.

 

Please check https://hwstats.unity3d.com/mobile/os.html, 1% now on Windows mobile. No viewers => advertisers are not interested in showing ads on that platform, so there will be little traffic even if we had SDK support for Windows mobile. My best advice would be to look into other ways of getting revenue on Windows mobile, e.g. IAP or paid apps...

Yes, but for windows universal there is an interesting market.
Every laptop comes with w10 and windows store installed.
