How to find your Channel IDs

We hope you enjoyed our previous Tip of the Week about how to embed your uploaded videos on your website with Lightcast’s customizable, bitrate-adaptive, responsive (and cool looking!) players. There is so much more to say about the players and what they can do for you in previous TOW's!

Today we would like to show you how to retrieve your Channel IDs. Every now and then we receive questions from our customers where to find the Channel IDs in their Lightcast Media Cloud. You may wonder why you would need the Channel IDs.
