### Enable custom feature in gradle file
You can disable or enable the following features by setting the following variables in your `android/build.gradle` file:
- `useExoplayerIMA` - Enable Google IMA SDK (Ads support)

- `useExoplayerSmoothStreaming` - Enable SmoothStreaming support

Each of these features enabled will increase the size of your APK, so only enable the features you need.
By default enabled features are: `useExoplayerSmoothStreaming`, `useExoplayerDash`, `useExoplayerHls`
Example:
```gradle
buildscript {
ext {
...
useExoplayerIMA = true
useExoplayerRtsp = true
useExoplayerSmoothStreaming = true
useExoplayerDash = true
useExoplayerHls = true
...
}
}
