How to find the UUID of a video

Every video in your account is associated with a unique 22-character value called a UUID. This set of numbers and letters allows Vidyard to reference the right asset whenever it needs to load a video on a page, display the correct thumbnail, or attribute viewer data and analytics.

A video's UUID cannot be edited or changed.

You may need to locate the UUID if:

• you need help from Vidyard Support regarding an issue with a specific video (they may ask you for the UUID)
• you want to search for an exact video in your library
• you need to reference a specific video in your marketing automation triggers
• you want to use Vidyard's API to programmatically manage assets in your account

Find a video's UUID in your library

1. Select a video from your library to open the edit page.
2. Look in the page URL to locate the UUID 

If you're part of Teams, Business or Enterprise account, you can also select Settings > About This Video to access the UUID.

Find the video UUID in an embed code

Copy a video embed code, then look for the data parameter in the <img> tag called data-uuid:

<script type="text/javascript" async src="https://play.vidyard.com/embed/v4.js"></script>
<img
  style="width: 100%; margin: auto; display: block;"
  class="vidyard-player-embed"
  src="https://play.vidyard.com/JJkazZR7foHWFu4KPnabit.jpg"
  data-uuid="JJkazZR7foHWFu4KPnabit"
  data-v="4"
  data-type="inline"
/>
