Can I get direct download links for my videos through the agent?

Yes. The `get_video_source_files` tool allows your agent to retrieve direct MP4 download links and stream URLs for different qualities (like 720p or 1080p), making it easy to share raw files or use them in other applications.

How do I add a video to a specific player?

Use the `attach_video_to_player` tool. You'll need to provide the `player_id` and the `video_id`. Your agent can help you find these IDs by listing your players and videos first.

Can I create new video players through conversation?

Absolutely. The `create_empty_player` tool lets you provision a new player container with a descriptive name. Once created, you can attach videos to it and manage its settings directly through your agent.

Vidyard + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Vidyard MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
