If a Recorder uses a default template and has an active Mediasite connection, new presentations created from the Recorder without pre-defined presentation settings will be recorded using the default template’s presentation settings and will be automatically published to the Mediasite.
Before you begin using a default template, verify that General Options > Use Default Template from the active Mediasite Connection is enabled.
To create a presentation using a default template:
1. Assign a default template to your Recorder using Management Portal’s “Change Settings” feature making sure to save your changes and reboot the Recorder.
2. Click Record to start recording the presentation.
3. Use the output routing feature in the Inputs tab to switch input sources to different outputs while a presentation is recording.
4. Click Pause to stop recording temporarily, for example, if you want to change cameras. Click Record to resume recording.
The video fades to black when you pause recording and transitions out of black once you resume recording. While the presentation is paused, the last image captured is displayed and the audio is muted.
5. Click Stop to stop recording the presentation. Once the recording has stopped completely, the recorded presentation will be listed in the Presentations tab.
