When you log in to My Mediasite for the first time, you may be asked to create a user profile. Once your profile is created, you can access your profile settings at any time to update your personal information and customize your experience when using Mediasite.
My Settings includes information such as the email address to which notifications should be sent as well as details that you want included when you are featured as a presenter in a presentation. You will also come to this page to enable and disable forwarding of viewer submitted questions and presentation notifications.
Click the User button in the top banner and select My Settings from the drop-down list to customize your system by updating your user profile, notifications and presenter information.
In some systems, your Mediasite administrator may have created your user profile. However, you can still update these settings.
On the My Settings page, click Profile to update your profile settings. Once you have updated your settings, make sure to click Save.
