# Creating Ad Surfaces in the Portal ### :bricks: About Ad Surfaces **Ad Surfaces** are visual ad placements that exist at the game level. They aren't tied to specific in-game objects, making them simple to manage and ideal for both banner and video ads. These surfaces, once created, can be used across SDKs in Unity, Unreal, and Phaser. *** ### 🧭 Step 1: Access Your Game * From your **Organization’s game list**, select the game you want to work with. * Navigate to the **Ad Surfaces** tab. * Click **+ New Ad Surface**.
*** ### ⚙️ Step 2: Configure the Ad Surface
Fill in the following fields: * **Ad Type** – Choose the type of ad this surface will display: * `Banner` (image) * `Video` (auto-playing clip) * **Resolution** – Define the display resolution (e.g., 300x250, 1024x512). This determines how the ad scales in your game. * **Interactivity** – Choose one of the following: * `Static`: Non-clickable * `Interactive`: Clickable (opens landing pages or in-game actions) * **Targeting Tags** – Add keywords that describe where the ad will appear or what kind of gameplay surrounds it (e.g., `"urban"`, `"sci-fi"`, `"puzzle"`). These improve ad targeting and campaign relevance. * **Placeholder File** – Upload a fallback image or video that will be shown if no active ad is available. *** ### ✅ Step 3: Save & Generate * Click **Add** to finalize the ad surface. * A **unique Ad Surface ID** will be generated automatically—used to link this surface to in-game placements through the SDK.
*** ### 🎮 Step 4: Use It In Your Game Once created, this Ad Surface will sync automatically to your SDK when you click **Sync Game Assets** inside: * Unity’s **ReneVerse Settings** * Unreal’s **ReneVerse API Editor** * Phaser’s **PhaserHooks setup** You can now place, serve, and track this ad surface directly from within your game engine. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
