Update your user settings

When you log in to My Mediasite for the first time, you may be asked to create a user profile. After your profile is created, you can access your profile settings at any time to update your personal information and customize your experience when using Mediasite.

My Settings includes information such as the email address to which notifications should be sent as well as details that you want included when you are featured as a presenter in a presentation. You also use this page to enable and disable forwarding of viewer submitted questions and presentation notifications. On some systems, you have the option of syncing MyMediasite with OneDrive.
