Navigate My Mediasite

My Mediasite provides a simple interface that allows you to create, record, share, and publish your presentations easily. You can also use it to view presentation analytics, interact with your audience via polls and Q & A forums, and manage quizzes.

My Mediasite also features a responsive layout that adjusts to whether you are creating and managing your presentations using your computer or mobile device.

Click your initials in the top banner (for example ) and select one of the following items from the drop-down list:

  • My Settings - to update your user profile, notifications, presenter information, and publishing settings. You can also connect to OneDrive to import Team recordings.
  • My Content Storage Report- to view how much storage space your Mediasite administrator has allocated to you and the amount of storage space you are currently using. You also come here to delete presentation revisions to reclaim storage space.
  • Help - to access the Customer Service Portal and relevant documentation.
  • Sign Out - to sign out of My Mediasite. If you are signed into other my Mediasite applications in the same web browser, you are also signed out of them.

Note

If you exceed your storage allocation, your administrator may disable certain features, including creating presentations and publishing video and audio podcasts, until you reduce the amount of storage space you are using.

To reduce the amount of space you are using, delete presentations and editor projects that you no longer need.

  • If Shared folders are available on your Mediasite, you can add your presentations to them. Shared folders are accessible by multiple users. In fact, any user with write permissions to a shared folder can view and add content to it. Your Mediasite administrator creates shared folders and you cannot edit or delete them from My Mediasite.
