Click a link to view the associated web page in a separate browser tab.

  • Click the Full-screen button to expand the player so that it fills the entire screen. This feature is disabled if full-screen mode is not supported by the browser or frame. For example, full-screen mode does not work in Internet Explorer 11 because of limitations in that browser.

Interact with your presentation's presenter using these buttons, if they are available:

  • Click the Download button to download an audio or video podcast version of this presentation. You will only see this button if the feature is enabled and downloadabe content is available.

  • Click the Ask a Question button to send questions to your presenter. When the Ask Question form appears, enter your name, email address (optional), the subject your question is addressing, and your question. If you do not want to include the time in the presentation where you had a question, clear the Time check box. To send your question, click Ask Question.

  • Click the Share Presentation button to send authorized users an e-mail invitation with a link to view the presentation. If you want your invitees to begin watching the presentation at specific time, check the Start Time check box in the email form and enter the time. For example, to have them begin viewing five minutes into the presentation, enter 5:00 as the start time. The presentation URL in the invitation updates accordingly. Enter the destination e-mail addresses and update the invitation text as needed. Click Send Invite. If you want to use the e-mail client on your machine to send out an invitation, click Use Email Client when the email form appears.

Use the seek bar to navigate through the presentation quickly. When you hold your mouse over a specific time using the seek bar button, the slide image for that time is displayed over the presentation.

Click the Change Primary Content button to change the stream displayed in the larger window. Clicking this button will cycle you through each stream. When you click on a stream additional display options become available.

Notes

  • If the video for the presentation does not appear, verify the presentation is not an audio-only presentation and that your computer meets the requirements listed here. If the issue persists, contact your Mediasite administrator.

  • When you are viewing a live presentation, you can only pause, skip back, or seek within the presentation if Live DVR is enabled.

  • When a presentation is live, the live presentation indicator is shown.

  • There is only one audio stream associated with each presentation, so changing the primary content displayed does not change the audio.

  • Interactive features (polls, asking questions, and sharing a presentation via email) are not available in stand-alone (publish to go) presentations.
