What it does

This skill gives an AI agent reference guides for Google's Interactive Media Ads Dynamic Ad Insertion SDK, which stitches ads into live or on-demand HLS and DASH video streams so ads play as part of the video. When a developer asks for help adding this to a website, Android, iOS, tvOS, Cast, or Roku app, the agent follows the platform-specific guide and the general setup steps: import the SDK, initialize it, add listeners, forward timed metadata, make a stream request, and clean up. It does not play VAST or VMAP ad URLs.

Great for

  • Developers integrating server-side ad-inserted livestream or VOD playback into a video app
  • Teams building on Google Ad Manager who need a Cast, Roku, or mobile player workflow
  • Engineers who want an agent to draft integration code from the official reference guides

Skip it if

  • Non-developers or people who only want to watch or publish ads: this is code integration work, not an ad tool
  • Projects using VAST or VMAP ad tag URLs, which the skill explicitly says not to use it for
  • Projects without a Google Ad Manager account and DAI stream setup, since the SDK needs those assets and keys to function

Try asking

  • “Add IMA DAI livestream playback with an asset key to my React web app's video player”
  • “Set up the IMA DAI SDK in my Android app using the Media3 ExoPlayer extension”
  • “Integrate IMA server-side ad insertion for VOD using a CMS ID and video ID in my Cast receiver”
  • “Show me how to clean up IMA DAI SDK resources when a viewer leaves the stream on iOS”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name your platform and whether you are using a livestream asset key or VOD content ID so the agent opens the right guide
  • Provide your existing player code so the agent can adapt the SDK steps rather than writing from scratch
  • Verify generated code against the official IMA documentation and test ad playback with a Google test stream before shipping
