Inspect Player Containers with MCP Server

Use `get_player_details` to pull all the technical metadata for a player ID. When you commit this config, every developer on your team gets the same structured data access. You can run `list_video_players` to give everyone a comprehensive view of all configured facets in the repository's context.

Handle Vidyard Assets Across Teams

The `get_video_details` tool lets your whole team retrieve asset metadata. Need stream links? Call `get_video_source_files` to get direct URLs, perfect for embedding across multiple components. If you need a full inventory, use `list_videos` to generate the list of all assets that belong in the repo.

Update and Create Players with Copilot

Need a new player? The agent can execute `create_empty_player`, generating an ID everyone uses immediately. You can also use `update_player_name` to standardize the display title across all team projects. Remember, calling `delete_video_player` is permanent, so double-check that requirement before committing.
