Getting started

Software version: Mediasite 7.6

Catalogs are now deprecated and will be removed completely in an upcoming version of Mediasite. Please refer to KBA - Catalog Deprecation.

Catalogs are searchable, online collections of presentations. You can use a catalog’s sort and search features to locate presentations for viewing. You can also share presentations with others, moderate them, and download them as portable presentations, podcasts (MP3 files), or vodcasts (MP4 files).

If you have the appropriate permissions, you will also have access to editing features that you will use to customize the catalog.

     Catalogs are created using Management Portal. The method used to aggregate content in a catalog determines which features are available when you edit the catalog.  For more information on creating catalogs and converting catalogs to channels, see the Content Manager Guide located on the Customer Care Portal at www.sonicfoundry.com/support.
