Creating a Podcast

MP3 files are strictly audio files. This might be useful for lectures where watching the Powerpoint may be helpful but not required to understand the meaning.

In order to download your presentation as an MP3, the Podcast feature needs to be enabled.

If you're using a Channel or Catalog page, and the Podcast feature is enabled, viewers can download the MP3 version.

Alternatively, you could download the MP3 and send the file via email to your viewers.

1. Login to the MyMediasite Portal.
2. Choose the presentation for which you would like a Podcast. The Summary page opens.
3. Click Edit. The Edit page opens.

   UX Tip

   Lower kbps choices, such as 32, 46 and 64 are good if you would like an AM quality / TV quality sound for your podcast. 96 kbps will produce an FM radio quality sound, while 128 kbps and 160 kbps will produce a more CD quality sound. For example, if your recording is predominantly talking, a 32 or 46 kbps will work well. If you recording is a song for a music course, you may want a higher quality, such as 128 kbps or 160 kbps. At any time, you can return and select a different MP3 quality.

7. Click Save.
