Get started with Moderation#

Note: Before you get started with Unity Moderation, make sure you meet all the requirements.

You can get started with Unity Moderation by following the instructions below.

1. Link your project with the Unity Dashboard.
2. Activate Unity Moderation for your project.
3. Import the Moderation SDK.
4. Initialize Unity services.

Activate Unity Moderation for your project#

To get started with Moderation, reach out to the Moderation support team to enable it in your project.

1. Log into the Unity Dashboard.
2. Select the Organization for which Unity Moderation is enabled.
3. Go to Multiplayer > Moderation.

Import the Moderation SDK#

To use the Moderation SDK you will need additional Unity packages. Some are mandatory requirements while others are optional requirements:

For information on the Authentication package, refer to the Authentication documentation.

Additional packages#

Using Vivox in your application can provide additional details on incidents. With the Vivox package, you can gather channel data and events by including the player ID and channel IDs in the report.

Initialize Unity services#

The Moderation SDK exposes a singleton instance of a class that can be used to report players. To use it, initialize Unity Services and authenticate your players with Unity Authentication Service (UAS).

The following code is an example of how to authenticate a user using UAS:

using Unity.Services.Core;
using Unity.Services.Authentication;
async void Start()
{
    await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();
    await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();
    if (AuthenticationService.Instance.IsSignedIn)
    {
        // game code. 
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Player was not signed in successfully?");
    }

}
