Google Analytics

Google Analytics is Google's web analytics service. When this integration is enabled and configured, Ink Player sends GA4 media events — start, progress, and completion — for each video and audio player, so playback shows up alongside the rest of your site analytics.

This is a Measurement-ID paste, not an OAuth connection — there is no Google sign-in step.

What this enables

• Optionally loads the GA4 tag for you from a Measurement ID.
• Sends GA4 start, progress (at 10/25/50/75%), and completion events for each player, following GA4's recommended video schema so they populate the built-in reports.

Prerequisites

• A Google Analytics 4 property.
• Its Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX) — optional if GA4 is already installed on your site.

Connect

Settings reference

Field	Required	Notes
Measurement ID	No	G-XXXXXXXXXX. Loads the GA4 tag for you. Leave empty if GA4 is already installed — event tracking still works.
Track player events	No	Sends start, progress, and completion events to GA4 for each video and audio player.

INFO

This integration is separate from Ink Player's own built-in Analytics, which tracks playback without any external service. Google Analytics surfaces player events inside your existing Google reporting.

Troubleshooting

• Events may take some time to appear in GA4 reports.
• If no events arrive, confirm Track player events is on and that a GA4 tag is present — either via the Measurement ID here, or already loaded on the site.
