Switch between multiple tenants

  • Article

Important

Due to the Azure Media Services retirement announcement, Azure Video Indexer announces Azure AI Video Indexer features adjustments. See Changes related to Azure Media Service (AMS) retirement to understand what this means for your Azure Video Indexer account.

When working with multiple tenants/directories in the Azure environment user might need to switch between the different directories.

When logging in the Azure AI Video Indexer website, a default directory will load and the relevant accounts and list them in the Account list.

Note

Trial accounts and Classic accounts are global and not tenant-specific. Hence, the tenant switching described in this article only applies to your ARM accounts.

The option to switch directories is available only for users using Entra ID to log in.

This article shows two options to solve the same problem - how to switch tenants:
