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 a Business (Essentials, Growth, 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"
/>
