Publishing presentations to YouTube

Use Mediasite to publish your presentations to YouTube. Mediasite publishes presentations to YouTube as video podcasts. When you set a presentation’s status to “Viewable” and its video podcast content has been generated, Mediasite automatically publishes the podcast to the selected sites.

Overview

To enable external publishing to YouTube on Mediasite, you must do the following:

Step 1:  Enable video podcast and select categories on presentation, template, or schedule. You will enable podcast and video podcast as part of an item’s Delivery settings. When enabling video podcast, make sure to select the appropriate video podcast project. You will link categories to the presentation, template, or schedule as part of the Information settings. When you enable audio or video podcast on a template or schedule, all presentations created using it will have this feature enabled. Similarly, presentations will inherit categories from templates and schedules.

     For detailed instructions, see Enable video podcast content on folder, Enable video podcast content on presentation and Select presentation’s categories. You will follow similar steps to enable these features and add categories on a template or schedule.

Step 2: Select the presentation’s publishing locations. You will determine which YouTube and iTunes locations a presentation is published to by choosing the corresponding external publishing projects on its Publish tab using My Mediasite or Management Portal. See detailed instructions below.

 

Select presentation’s categories

Categories provide another way for your audience to locate your content once it you publish it to YouTube, so it is important to think out your category associations.  You can assign a presentation to multiple categories.

To select a presentation’s categories:

28. Create a new presentation or select an existing one. If you select an existing one, you must click the Edit tab to make updates.

29. On the Information page, click Add Category and select a category. Repeat for each category that you want to add.
