As a best practice, make sure
to do a test video conference recording for each call string BEFORE your first
video conference to ensure everything works as expected.
You will specify the Join Appliance’s IP address and a call string to add Join to a call. Once Join is connected to the video conference call, you can start recording. As Join records, it will send your video conference content to Mediasite. Once the recording has ended, Join publishes the recording as an on-demand presentation on Mediasite.
This will send the audio, video, and content to the Recorder software. It will not load a template, nor will it start a recording. It sends data as if they were normal IP sources transmitting.

To add Join to a video conference call:
1. Make a test call from your videoconferencing client or telephone to Mediasite Join using the appropriate call string format. Once you have successfully connected to Mediasite Join, you will see the Mediasite participant video feed in your call.
2. Identify all presentation materials, such as PowerPoint slides, you will share during the video conference and make sure they are visible in your video conference panel. Shared items will be included in the final presentation’s secondary window. This feature requires a videoconferencing client that supports H.239 content sharing.
3. Add additional callers to the video conference. The maximum number of concurrent calls you can make depends on your Mediasite Join license.
4. Mediasite Join will stop recording when you end the call. Once you have finished recording, allow time for Mediasite to process the recording. The amount of time it takes will depend on how busy your Mediasite is and the length of the call.
5. Check the folder location associated with the call string for the finished on-demand presentation.
6. Verify that you can playback and manage the on-demand presentation in Mediasite.
