Navigating Presentation Editing Options

While modifying your presentation, you can edit both the presentation frame and the recording. For information about editing the recording, see Using the Mediasite Web Editor.

The frame of your presentation is how it will appear to viewers and what functionality will be available to them. To edit your presentation frame, choose the presentation from the MyMediasite Portal and click Edit.

  2. Visibility options - In order for viewers to play your presentation, you must change your visibility settings from Private to Visible. You can also modify your visibility settings from the MyMediasite Portal in the drop-down menu below the presentation.
  3. Editing details - Editing options include five sub-tabs which are described in more detail below: Information, Player, Delivery Actions and Annotate. The Information tab opens by default.

Editing Details Tabs

    UX Tip

    To access links added to a presentation, viewers can click the Presentation Links icon at the bottom right area of the video. All links appear in a pop-up bubble. If the recording uses a Mini player, viewers may need to first click the pop-out icon in the upper-right corner to display the Presentation Links icon.

  • Modules - If you are accessing Mediasite through the CarmenCanvas integration, modules are created to associate presentations with specific Carmen courses.
