Hi

I am evaluating an Elastic Cloud instance

I want to make a video player plugin for Kibana - I found a guide for isntallation but it's talking about putting the plugin in a folder... and I don't have terminal access to the Elastic instance ([Kibana plugins | Kibana Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-plugins.html#install-plugin))

How do I install a plugin to Elastic Cloud?
