Add Video from Mediasite - Staff Guide

You can add video from the University’s Lecture Capture and Media Management service Mediasite to your module or organisation. You can add a secure link, or it can be embedded directly in a Document.

If you are looking for information on module Lecture Capture recordings and how they can be accessed in a module, see Lecture Capture in Minerva.

In this guide

The two ways to add video from Mediasite:

Add a secure link

You can add links to individual recordings stored in Mediasite within your Minerva modules once they have been published:

  • For ad-hoc recordings you will need to manually publish the video(s).
  • Automated lecture captures are automatically published after 72 hours unless otherwise specified by the video owner.

For guidance on manual publishing, see the publish Mediasite content guide on the IT website.

2. Select Content Market from the menu options displayed, this will open the Content Market panel.

3. From the Institutional Tools listed, find Mediasite Content and click the box. This will load and open the Mediasite Content panel.

4. You will be presented with three options:

  • Add Existing Media:
    • Presentation - choose this to add a video that you have uploaded to Mediasite, or search for videos that have been made publicly available, or available to just people at the University of Leeds.
    • Collection - choose this to link to a video from your module collection(s), these are usually automated Lecture Capture recordings.
  • Upload New Media:
    • Upload - choose this to upload a new recording.

Choose the relevant option, in this example we will choose Presentation.

5. Locate the video you want to add and click Add to 'Your Module Name' and then select Presentation Link from the drop down menu. The link will be added to your module.
