Are there pre-roll video ads with the latest play services api? I can see this admob interstitial ad tutorial . But, it gives full screen interstitial ad with a close button. I want to have video ads like in youtube. It should come and go away without user interaction. Am I missing it somewhere here?

My game has Unity Ads and Google AdMob. I used Google AdMob for a support button. Button shows rewarded ad, with no prizes. Because this is a support button. Anyway, my ads is not showing. I'm trying to solve this problem. I think i did everything true. I published my game. In my other game Google Ads is showing. Can anybody help me?
First, This is against AdMob's Policies for ads that offer rewards
Publishers may not encourage users to engage with rewarded ads using phrases that indicate the ad engagement will help the publisher directly, such as “support us” or similar language.
I STRONGLY recommend removing the support button because AdMob will find it and give you a violation strike.
Second, regarding your problem I think you are not preloading the ad.
Currently I'm making a game for android and admob's reward video ads and interstitial ads are being implemented. Once the game is over the player can play from current state by watching reward video like other games. But when the game is over I want to make two options for player.
(1) Continue play by watching reward video ad.
(2) Continue play by showing the interstitial ad.
For (2), is it legal to show interstitial ad to give reward to user? I also checked here. But it doesn't say anything about using interstitial as reward ad. So, can I use interstitial ad to give reward to the player?
Yes, Interstitial Ad can be used to reward the users. There are no issues with that. If you are confused with implementation or on the policy and the best practices, refer the following article -

I have read almost all Admob policy and I have found nothing that prohibits this special case.
However, please let us know have you finally got any issue when using this special approach based on rewarding user using an Interstitial ad?
I plan to do something similar and I am interested to know if that cause no issue to do so!
I wanted to ask is it legal to use the Google Admob reward ads without giving any reward to the user like coins, points or etc. And can we use these ads in non-gaming applications like maps applications or chatting applications and etc.
The video type of interstitial ads rather than the rewarded video ads should suit your purpose. Try using the sample unit id for the interstitial video written in this page to see if it is really what you want.
I guess is legal and feasible. Rewarded ads are commonly used to continue playing with same items, weapons, collectables... after your character dies instead of losing all the progress. And AdMob is not limited to games.
This is mostly a Google Play and Apple Store policy question. I searched both site's help center but couldn't find an answer.
I have both rewarded video ads and banners/interstitial ads on my mobile game. Banners/interstitials can be removed by "remove ads" in app purchase at the time being. But I'm having difficulties to decide removing rewarded video ads with "remove ads" in app purchase. Because rewarded video ads are not implemented in an intrusive way like banners/interstitials. A player can play the game without seeing a single rewarded video. Seeing a rewarded video is totally player's choice and it gives game currency which enhances the player's experience. So if it's not against Apple and Google policies I'm planning to keep rewarded video ads in the game even though player buys "remove ads" in app purchase.
Would be very happy to know if that's possible(also if that's a good idea) and if anyone knows about this.
Thanks.
You can definitely choose to add or not to add. But you need to say to the users that "Hey! I'm gonna remove just banner and interstitial ads, not Ads that show up when you want to buy coin"
Most of the games do such like this. Hope it helps.
Im using admob to dipslay ads on my game which is published on the play store. During the first 3 days the interstitial ads showed fine but now it just shows a black screen.
What app shows instead of interstitial ad
That is what the screen looks like. If you wanna see for yourself the game is delta shooter from delta productions inc
So is this my fault or admobs fault?
Banner ads work fine by the way
That doesn't look right.
Suggest you run it past the Admob engineers at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-admob-ads-sdk
But make sure you post your code.
