TrueView for admob

[Tamer Okail]

Hi;

I have an iOS app, and I want to have skip-able pre-roll ads before live streams, I've heard of admob in app video (trueview), how do I integrate it?

Regards

We do use TrueView to serve some video interstitials.  If you're looking to show pre-rolls before your own video content, though, you're a perfect fit for our Interactive Media Ads SDK:

https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/

We have a quick start guide for iOS to help you get started:

https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/ios/v3/quickstart

The IMA SDK can load ads from DFP, AdSense, other VAST-compliant backends, and do a number of other useful things for people looking to monetize with video.

Hi Andrew;

Thanks a lot, that was helpful.
I still have couple of questions though:

1- Adsense would be for in-stream banners, while DFP would be for video Pre-rolls, correct?

2- I can't find a tutorial to create a DFP video Pre-roll, do you know where I can find this?

Best Regards

I should have mentioned we also have a dedicated forum for IMA SDK questions. You can find it at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ima-sdk.  I should be able to answer your two questions, though:

1) I believe that AdSense For Video can deliver video ads for pre-rolls, post-rolls, or whatever you want.  The biggest difference between AdSense and DFP is that with AdSense, you don't have to sell your own ad inventory the way large publishers do. You just tell AdSense that you need an ad, and it finds one that someone wants to pay you to display. DFP is typically used by larger businesses that have deals of their own ("We just signed a contract to sell 100k impressions to Company XYZ, so we'll create a new campaign for it in DFP").

2) Creating a pre-roll ad in DFP should be no different than creating any other video ad unit. If you've read the IMA quick start, you can see that you're in control of what the player plays, so you'd just request an ad prior to the user hitting play, show it when they click the play button, then play the content video.

Andrew;

Sorry to bother you again

 I cannot find anything that explain how to integrate Adsense Trueview on Native iOS, only for websites!

do I use DFP instead, I'm confused.

Let me reach out to some of my IMA SDK colleagues and find out what the best way to get started is.  It might take me a day or two to get a hold of them, but I'll reply here once I do.

I have some more information for you, mainly in the form of articles to check out.

First, the IMA SDK team confirmed for me that you can use AdSense for Video Urls with the IMA SDK on iOS. No problems there.  They recommend reading:

1) The AdSense for Video Overview - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1705822?hl=en&ref_topic=1706004&rd=1

2) The AFV Tag Generator Overview - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/6064086

In addition, there's a support forum for AdSense as well, which will is staffed by people who just cover AdSense and know it very well:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/adsense

Like I said, this is the Mobile Ads forum, so pre-rolls are well outside our area of expertise.  You should be able to find what you need using those resources, though!

Hi Andrew;

This makes perfect sense!
it requires an approval process though, I will go through it, and will keep you updated.

Thanks a lot for the help!
