Category

Select the check box to enable categories as additional metadata on presentations, schedules, and templates. Categories provide users a way to locate your content when publishing it to YouTube. When this feature is enabled, the Settings > Categories page and related settings (security, presentation) are available to users in the Portal. You must log out and log back into the Portal to see the items associated with this feature

Module

Select the check box to enable modules as additional metadata on presentations, schedules, templates, and catalogs. A module is a new Mediasite resource that serves as an advanced integration point. Modules can be used in conjunction with LMS integration where the module in Mediasite maps to a course in the LMS.

When this feature is enabled, the LMS Integration > Modules page and related settings (security, presentation, and catalog) are available to users. You must log out and log back into Mediasite to see the items associated with this feature.

Term & Conditions

Select this check box if you want to enable the use of terms and agreements with catalogs and folders on this site. When this feature is enabled, the Settings > Terms & Conditions page and related settings on folders and catalogs are visible to users in the Portal. For catalogs, this feature would only be available on catalogs that aggregate content using a presentation's Publish tab.

Quota Level

Select this check box if you want to enable the use of user storage quotas on the site. When this feature is enabled, the Settings > Quota Levels page and related settings are available in the Portal. These settings allow administrators to use quota policies to monitor and restrict users’ storage usage as needed.

Default Quota Level

Select the maximum quota level you want assigned to users added using user profile provisioning. You can always update a user’s quota level later.

Enable Review, Edit, and Approve Workflow

Select the check box if you want to enable the presentation review workflow, which allows users to take presentations through a rigorous review and edit process before making them available to an audience.

Notify the content creator on approval and rejection

Select the check box to send email notifications to users who originally created presentations when an update is approved or rejected. This is useful when a user has copied a presentation to a folder but may need to make changes to the original presentation.

Notify the content owner on approval and rejection

Select the check box to send email notifications to a presentation’s owner when an update is approved or rejected.

Name Publish-to-go Package with Presentation ID

Select the check box to use a presentation's ID instead of its title when publishing it to a zip file or folder. This prevents corrupted folder names when the presentation's title contains non-ascii characters.

Completed Schedule Retention

When you create a schedule, you can have Mediasite automatically delete it once the last presentation has completed. Adjust this setting to specify the number of days that completed schedules, with automatic deletion enabled, will remain on Mediasite before they are permanently removed. This is useful when tracking Recorder usage and troubleshooting scheduling errors.

Enable version checking for Desktop Recorder

When you enable Mediasite Desktop Recorder (MDR) version checking, MDR users connecting to Mediasite will receive notifications when software updates are available. Clear the check box to suppress these notifications.

Media Upload and Import

You can enable, disable, or limit transcoding when media is uploaded or imported on by selecting one of the options below:

•      Transcode all incoming MP4 content: Select this option to enable transcoding when all media is uploaded and imported. This option requires the most resources for transcode workers.

•      Bypass transcoding only for compatible H.264/AAC MP4 content meeting maximum media quality levels: Select this option to disable transcoding for media uploads and imports using higher-quality encoding settings. This option reduces the resources required for the transcode workers.

•      Bypass transcoding for all compatible H.264/AAC MP4 content: This is the default option. Select this option to disable transcoding for all media uploads and imports.

Enable the External Publishing Request Workflow

When you enable the External Publishing Request workflow on Mediasite, users must submit requests to publish presentations as vodcasts and/or podcasts to YouTube. Administrators will approve or reject publishing requests as part of the workflow.

EVP Request Timeout for Recorder Page

Adjust the amount of time Mediasite waits for a Recorder’s status response before sending a new status request. The default time is 60 seconds.

Detect IP address using X-Forwarded-For HTTP header

Select this check box to enable the use of the X-Forwarded-For header during Playback Ticket creation and authorization. The Player Service will check for the header and then use it when setting the IP address of Playback Tickets. The Media Plugin Service will use the same header value when validating the client IP address of media requests.

High Traffic WebAPI Hostname

Specify the hostname for the web server that will handle traffic resulting from the polling of the VU audio meter. To reduce the load on other web servers being used by Mediasite, the API will only serve requests coming to this hostname. We strongly encourage using a pool of Web servers that are not handling other kinds of requests (such as scheduling, Job Farm, Search indexing, etc.).

Permissions on Copy/Move Presentation

Specify how permissions on a presentation are handled when a user copies or moves it to a different folder or channel:

•      Ask user whether to keep permissions: Select this option to give user a choice on how they want to handle permissions when copying or moving a presentation. They will get to choose from the two options below.

•      Keep permissions from source presentation: Select this option to retain the permissions assigned to the original presentation.

•      Inherit permissions from parent folder: Select this option to have the presentation or copy inherit the permissions of the parent folder in the destination folder.

Scheduled Actions on Copy/Move Presentation

Specify how actions on a presentation are handled when a user copies or moves it to a different folder or channel:

•      Ask user whether to keep scheduled actions: Select this option to give user a choice on how they want to handle scheduled actions when copying or moving a presentation. They will get to choose from the two options below.

•      Keep actions from source presentation: Select this option to retain all actions scheduled for the presentation.

•      Do not keep scheduled actions from source presentation: Select this option to remove all actions from the copy. You can then schedule new ones

Default Site URL
