1. In your Google Ad Manager account, obtain the following information: 

| App ID        | The unique ID assigned to your app on the Ad Manager dashboard                                                                                                                            |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| API Key       | The unique identifier for your Ad Manager account. This allows the Unity LevelPlay Mediation to import performance data from your Ad Manager account to use in reporting and optimization |
| Ad Unit ID    | The unique ID assigned to your app's ad unit on the Ad Manager dashboard                                                                                                                  |
| Client ID     | The unique identifier that specifies the relationship between your account and the ad unit                                                                                                |
| Client Secret | The secret key that pairs with the Client ID                                                                                                                                              |
| Refresh Token | The refresh token the client application already received                                                                                                                                 |

2. Configure Google Ad Manager's parameters in your LevelPlay account.

* Log in to your ironSource account and go to **Monetize** > **SETUP** > **SDK Networks**.

![SDK Networks](/api/media?file=/grow/media/images/Level-Play-SDK.jpg)

* Select Google Ad Manager from the list of **Available Networks** and enter the Ad Manager's **API Key**, **Client** **ID**, **Client Secret,** and **Refresh Token**; or select the **Login with Google** option.

![Login credentials](/api/media?file=/grow/media/images/1-1.png)

![Login with Google](/api/media?file=/grow/media/images/2.png)

* Select **Save**. Ad Manager will be enabled and listed in the **Available Ad Networks** table.
* Select Ad Manager from the setup list of ad networks and select the tool **Define** button. Insert the **App ID** and **Ad Unit** **ID**  under **interstitial**, **rewarded** or **banner settings**.
  ![App and Ad Unit configuration](/api/media?file=/grow/media/images/4.png)- Verify your integration with the Reporting API. This column will check your integration through the Reporting API and return three possible responses: Verified, Failed, and No Response. If you do not see **Verified,** double check your integration and the information you entered, then select **Retry** until you see **Verified**.

## Step 4. Add the Admob Adapter to Your Build

Continue your integration using native adapters for [Android](/grow/levelplay/sdk/android/networks/guides/google-ad-manager.md) and [iOS](/grow/levelplay/sdk/ios/networks/guides/google-ad-manager.md).

## Step 5. Additional Steps

### Child-directed setting - COPPA

Unity LevelPlay’s mediation lets publishers communicate AdMob Child-directed settings directly to the AdMob network. This feature is enabled using LevelPlay SDK 6.14.0+, AdMob Android Adapter 4.3.9+.

Use the following syntax, to set AdMob **setTagForChildDirectedTreatment** with the parameter TAG\_FOR\_CHILD\_DIRECTED\_TREATMENT\_TRUE:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"AdMob_TFCD": ["true"]});
```

Use the following syntax, to set AdMob **setTagForChildDirectedTreatment** with the parameter TAG\_FOR\_CHILD\_DIRECTED\_TREATMENT\_FALSE:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"AdMob_TFCD": ["false"]});
```

To learn more about Child-directed settings Under AdMob network visit [here](https://developers.google.com/admob/android/targeting#child-directed_setting).

### Users under the age of consent - GDPR

Unity LevelPlay’s mediation lets publishers communicate with AdMob network, a Tag For Users under the Age of Consent in Europe (TFUA) request. This feature is enabled using LevelPlay SDK 6.14.0+, AdMob Android Adapter 4.3.9+.

Use the following syntax, to set **setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent** with TAG\_FOR\_UNDER\_AGE\_OF\_CONSENT\_TRUE:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"AdMob_TFUA": ["true"]});
```

Use the following syntax, to set **setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent** with TAG\_FOR\_UNDER\_AGE\_OF\_CONSENT\_FALSE:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"AdMob_TFUA": ["false"]});
```

### Ad Content filtering

Unity LevelPlay’s mediation lets publishers communicate with AdMob network,  maximum ad content rating for all ad requests. This feature is enabled using LevelPlay SDK 7.12.0+, AdMob Android Adapter 4.3.23+.

Use the following syntax, to set maxAdContentRating:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"AdMob_MaxContentRating":["MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G"]});
```

The possible values for this property are based on digital content label classification as defined by Google:

* MAX\_AD\_CONTENT\_RATING\_G
* MAX\_AD\_CONTENT\_RATING\_PG
* MAX\_AD\_CONTENT\_RATING\_T
* MAX\_AD\_CONTENT\_RATING\_MA

To learn more about Ad Content Rating property Under AdMob network visit [here](https://developers.google.com/admob/android/targeting#ad_content_filtering).

### Content URL mapping support

Unity LevelPlay supports Google’s content mapping for apps, and allows you to share URLs using "Google\_Content\_Mapping" settings. This feature is enabled using LevelPlay SDK 7.7.0+, AdMob Adapter 4.3.41+. Learn more about Google’s content mapping [here](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/11050896).

To pass a single-content URL, use the following syntax:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"Google_Content_Mapping ":["https://www.example.com"]});
```

To support multiple urls, use the same key and share up to 4 URLs:

```dart
LevelPlay.setMetaData({"Google_Content_Mapping ":["https://www.example.com","https://www.example2.com"]});
```
