You can add a new presentation by linking to an external video. When you add an external video to a presentation, you can display it in video collections. Since the video content is not stored in Mediasite, a system player is assigned to the presentation, there are limited analytics available, and the following features are not available:
• Captions • Q & A forums • Polls • Live broadcast • Podcast • Video podcast • Annotations |
• Add Like • Copy To/Export To • Editing • Content server groups • Stream groups
