1---2name: azure-video-indexer3description: Expert knowledge for Azure AI Video Indexer development including best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when indexing videos, using live camera analysis, calling Video Indexer APIs/widgets, or redacting faces, and other Azure AI Video Indexer related development tasks. Not for Azure AI Vision (use azure-ai-vision), Azure AI Custom Vision (use azure-custom-vision), Azure AI Speech (use azure-speech), Azure AI Search (use azure-cognitive-search).4---5# Azure AI Video Indexer Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure AI Video Indexer. Covers best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:14- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch`. Returns Markdown.15- **Fallback**: Use `WebFetch`. Returns Markdown.1617## Category Index1819| Category | Lines | Description |20|----------|-------|-------------|21| Best Practices | L31-L37 | Guidance on scaling Video Indexer, training custom speech
