On the Recorder’s System page, you can update the time your Recorder automatically checks the Mediasite Video Platform for software updates. You will also come to this page to check manually for updates on the Customer Assurance Portal, install any available updates, and disable the “update available” pop-up window. You must have an internet connection and the Recorder must be licensed to check for, download, and apply software updates.
When your Recorder restarts after licensing, it automatically checks for software updates on Sonic Foundry’s Customer Assurance Portal. If newer software updates are available on the Customer Assurance Portal, you will see a pop-up window when you launch the Recorder with the option to update your software.
