You can make presentations available to your users as live broadcasts, on-demand presentations, and portable presentations. Live broadcasts and on-demand presentations require network connections to Mediasite and a media server so you must configure them so that they use the appropriate content servers. Portable presentations are on-demand presentations that do not require a connection to Mediasite or media servers. You can download them from Management Portal, My Mediasite, and video collections. However, interactivity is disabled in portable presentations and they are not secure once they are downloaded.
You can make multiple versions of live and on-demand presentations available to your audience by adding shortcuts that point to the same content but have different Players, titles, folders, and often permissions than the original presentation.
Mediasite also allows you to take your on-demand presentations through a review and edit process to ensure that they meet your organization’s needs. Once you have finalized your on-demand presentations, you can make them available to users as podcasts (audio and video). Podcasts can be published to YouTube™. In some systems you may be required to submit external publishing requests to publish to YouTube.
