You can use schedule-based recording, typically used in a classroom setting with regularly scheduled presentations, for live and on-demand presentations. Additionally, the recording process can be fully automated or semi-automated. You must connect your Recorder to Mediasite to use scheduling.
The Management Portal is used to create schedules. Using the data in the user-defined schedule, Mediasite Scheduler creates a presentation on Mediasite prior to the presentation's record date and time.
View and update schedules
When you connect your Recorder to Mediasite, you can view assigned schedules from the Schedules (Shift+C) tab. Scheduled presentations appear in the Recorder interface three days prior to their record date.
You can update a schedule's details as needed. However, once you update a schedule's recurrence details, it is important to synchronize the schedules on the Recorder to ensure the updates take effect. This is especially important when you make updates very close to the time that a presentation using the recurrence is scheduled for recording.

Recording and publishing scheduled presentations
Depending on the level of automation defined for the schedule, the Recorder opens and records the presentation for the duration of time specified. The presentation settings defined in the schedule determine presentations’ default presenters, interactivity features, and publishing options.
In some schedules, presentations are created, but not assigned to a
Recorder. You will open and record them as you would any other presentation on
Mediasite. In other schedules, presentations are loaded on the Recorder and you
must start and/or stop the recording process manually.
To create a schedule-based recording:
1. Connect Recorder to the network. Typically, an RL/RL MultiView Recorder, will already be connected to a network.
2. Connect your Recorder to Mediasite. If you do not know the credentials, contact your Mediasite administrator.
3. Enable scheduling on the Recorder under Scheduler Connections.
4. Create a schedule on your Mediasite using the Management Portal. Ensure a Recorder and presentation creation method is specified under Schedule Options > Recorder Operation.
5. Connect capture devices to the Recorder. Typically, an RL Recorder will already have capture devices connected to it.
6. Select input devices in the Recorder interface.
7. Verify your presentation is visible when you view your schedule. Update and/or sync schedule if needed.
8. Open the presentation and begin recording.
