GoogleInteractiveMediaAds Framework Reference

  • The IMALiveStreamRequest is a data object used to describe a live stream request, inheriting from IMAStreamRequest.

  • The assetKey is a required identifier found in the DFP UI that determines which live stream should be played.

  • There are multiple initializers for IMALiveStreamRequest, allowing for the specification of asset key, network code, ad display container, video display, picture-in-picture proxy, and user context.

  • Deprecated initializers exist and should be replaced with those that include the network code parameter.
