Once you have finished preparing for your presentation and configuring Mediasite Mosaic, you are ready to start recording. You can start recording from My Mediasite or you can record offline and upload to My Mediasite later. If you are using Mosaic Pro, you can also record scheduled presentations created by your Mediasite administrator.
You have the option of using a compact overlay view when
preparing for a recording and when you start recording Mosaic automatically goes
into this view. However, you can exit it at any time by clicking the Exit
compact overlay button .
Take the following into consideration when using the compact overlay view:
• The compact overlay only shows the camera preview input and audio meters.
• You can move the compact overlay around as needed. However, if it is placed on the display you are capturing, it will be recorded.
• You cannot rename presentations while using the compact overlay view.

Record presentation using My Mediasite

Mosaic will automatically minimize to the compact overlay view once it begins
capturing content.

Once you are done recording, click the Stop button . The
presentation is now available in the Presentations list. You can then

Record offline
Mediasite Mosaic allows you to record presentations offline and upload them to Mediasite later when you have an Internet connection.

You can upload recordings made offline to new or existing presentations.

the compact overlay view once it begins capturing content.

Record scheduled presentations (Mosaic Pro)
Mosaic Pro allows you to record scheduled presentations. These presentations are created using schedules. A schedule, typically created by your Mediasite administrator or content manager, is a collection of user-defined settings used to automate the presentation creation and publishing process. Schedules include the following information:
• Presentation properties—basic details, folder, publishing and delivery options, player settings, security, and actions
• Presentation naming convention (based on schedule name)
• Recurrence settings—when and how often presentations are created
• Email notification details
Scheduled presentations are listed on the Presentations page. When a new presentation is available for recording, you will receive notifications when you successfully connect to Mediasite and five minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
You must be connected to the internet
and have signed into Mediasite to access and receive notifications for scheduled
presentations.
To record a scheduled presentation:
1. Launch Mediasite Mosaic from your desktop from the Windows start menu or taskbar.
2. Navigate to the Presentations tab and use the filter to view your scheduled presentations.
3.
If you do not see your schedule, click Sync schedules to connect to Mediasite and retrieve the
latest scheduled presentations.

Click the Open presentation button to the right of the presentation’s title
and duration to load the presentation. You can then begin recording.
5. Depending on how the schedule used to create your presentations have been configured, the presentation may upload automatically to My Mediasite. Otherwise, you will upload it manually.
