Mediasite: Staff Guides
Mediasite is the University’s Lecture Capture and Multimedia system.
It allows you to record, edit and share digital content. Mediasite can automatically record taught sessions if they have been set up on the University timetable, but you can also record ad-hoc sessions in teaching spaces, screencasts or upload video and audio files to Mediasite.
You can access Mediasite via the homepage in Minerva or by logging in via the Mediasite Leeds Login Page

Where ownership needs to be transferred (e.g. wrong owner, staff leaving, changing roles etc.), please refer to the Request a change to the owner of a Mediasite/lecture capture recording article on the IT website (this link will take you there).
Depending on the school you belong to, the process to request a change of ownership differs, this article provides you with guidance on how to request a change.
