title: How do I find my account name for Microsoft Azure Media Services?
body: <p>According to the API documentation on <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/media/operations/azure-media-services-rest-api-reference" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft Azure's website</a>, it says we need to fill in the account name information to work with the API.  Currently the documentation shows that it looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://&lt;accountname&gt;.restv2.&lt;location&gt;.media.azure.net/api/$metadata?api-version=2.x (where x is a version number)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I need to create a Media Services channel first or how do we find the account name for Media Services?</p>
