Creating Content: Uploading a Pre-Recorded Video to Mediasite through the Web-Based MyMediasite Page

Overview

In cases where the Mediasite Desktop Recorder (MDR) cannot be used, or is not available, pre-recorded video may be uploaded via the MyMediasite web page.

Procedures

Ensure that your video has been reduced to 720p. For instructions on how to do this on a Mac, see the article Change Resolution of Video for Upload to Mediasite on a Mac. For a PC, please reference your selected screen capture software.

In your list of drafts, you will see your new recording listed as Currently Working while the Mediasite server transcodes it to a streaming format.
