Ad Placements

You can set a placement name for each ad unit (for example, “Rewarded VideoLevels”, “INTER_levelEnd”, or “RewardedVideoCoinStore”). This can help you aggregate statistics for different placement categories. The following snippets show you how to set the placement name for various ad formats.

Banner and MREC

Banner (Blueprint)

Banner (C++)

UAppLovinMAX::CreateBanner(«ad-unit-ID», «position»);
UAppLovinMAX::SetBannerPlacement(«ad-unit-ID», «placement»);

MREC (Blueprint)

MREC (C++)

UAppLovinMAX::CreateMRec(«ad-unit-ID», «position»);
UAppLovinMAX::SetMRecPlacement(«ad-unit-ID», «placement»);

Note

For banners and MRECs you must set the placement name immediately after you create the banner or MREC.

Interstitial

Blueprint

C++

UAppLovinMAX::ShowInterstitial(«ad-unit-ID», «placement»);

Rewarded

Blueprint

C++

UAppLovinMAX::ShowRewardedAd(«ad-unit-ID», «placement»);

Mute Audio

You can mute audio for some mediated SDK networks when you launch your app. The networks that support this functionality via the AppLovin SDK are Google bidding and Google AdMob, AppLovin, DT Exchange, Google Ad Manager, LINE, Mintegral, Tencent, and Verve. For other networks, consult your network’s account team to learn whether this functionality is available and how to access it.

Note

DT Exchange allows you to mute audio only for interstitial ads.

The following code snippets show how you mute audio on those networks that support this feature:

Blueprint

C++

UAppLovinMAX::SetMuted(true);  // to mute
UAppLovinMAX::SetMuted(false); // to unmute

Caution

Set the mute state before you load ads. Some networks (like Google bidding and Google AdMob) return muted or unmuted videos depending on what the mute state is before ad load.

Enable Verbose Logging

Enable verbose logs with the following call:

Blueprint

C++

UAppLovinMAX::SetVerboseLoggingEnabled(true);

To verify that you enabled verbose logs successfully, check for the line that reads Verbose Logging On: true in the initialization section of the AppLovin SDK logs:

AppLovin SDK
Version: 11.4.2
⋮
Verbose Logging On: true
⋮

AppLovin SDK tags its logs with the tag “/AppLovinSdk: [AppLovinSdk]”.

Creative ID and Network Name

You can retrieve the creative ID and the network name of displayed ads from various mediated networks. Refer to the Creative Debugger documentation for more information.
