   [Content page in Blackboard, with the Build Content menu selected, and the very bottom item Mediasite Content highlighted.]
   
4. The LTI connection to Mediasite will launch in a new tab. In this new tab, Select "Presentation" under 'Add Existing Media'
   
   [Mediasite banner, and a message stating Add Existing Media with two options: Presentation and Collection]

8. Note that is is now necessary to refresh your view before the link will be visible.

TROUBLESHOOTING: Presentation is not found

If Search does not return your presentation, it is possible that it was marked as "Private" within the Mediasite system after recording/uploading.

1. Log in to MyMediasite.
2. Open the presentation you would like to link to LMS.
3. On the right, click Edit Details.
4. Under "Visibility" select Viewable.
