Get started

To begin using the Presence package, you must first set up an app identifier and initialize the service.

Set up an app identifier

To set up an app identifier, follow the steps in the Identity package starter guide.

Initialize the service

To initialize your service, see the following steps:

1. In your PlatformServices script, update the PlatformServices class with public references to IRoomProvider<Room> and ISessionProvider and a private reference to PresenceManager.

    static PresenceManager s_PresenceManager;
   
    public static IRoomProvider<Room> RoomProvider => s_PresenceManager;
    public static ISessionProvider SessionProvider => s_PresenceManager;
   

2. Initialize the services in the InitializeAsync method. The variables provided in the constructor are defined in the Identity authentication guide.

    public static async Task InitializeAsync()
    {
        // ...
   
        s_PresenceManager = new PresenceManager(AccessTokenProvider, playerSettings, s_CloudConfiguration);
   
        // ...
    }
   

3. Shut down the services in the Shutdown method.

    public static void Shutdown()
    {
        // ...
   
        s_PresenceManager.Dispose();
        s_PresenceManager = null;
   
        // ...
    }
