If you are unable to add code to the website, how exactly are you adding Azure Media Player to the site? Are you just using an embed or iframe tag of some sort? Where is the hosted version of the AMP player living?
If you hosted the AMP player on your own, you can use a 3rd party data tracking framework from someone like Mux.com/data which integrates with the AMP player.
Or you could use a plugin that sends telemetry events from the player over to Azure Application Insights. That takes a lot more coding on the client side (hosted player) but could be done. I dont know for sure how this would be impacted by the iframe or embed tag though, as it may defeat the client scripts.
Take a look at this example - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/azure-samples/media-services-javascript-azure-media-player-application-insights-plugin/media-services-javascript-azure-media-player-application-insights-plugin/
It's a bit out of date, but idea is the same and could be adapted.
