Adding server groups

Server groups are a collection of content servers and make choosing servers transparent to users.  Each server group must have at least one (1) on-demand server and a slide server.

 The content servers available to you when adding server groups will depend on how your Mediasite was configured during deployment. Contact the person responsible for deploying Mediasite for more information on the content servers available to you.
