How do I setup a Channel and put in Presentations?

Submit a Media Capture support request in the LCSEE Systems Service Center.

Channels are a way to organize and share a collection of presentations. Perhaps a collection of presentations in a Channel are of a specific topic or for a specific course.  There are two types of Channels. The Channels used in the student submission workflow are created and managed by a Mediasite administrator. Those covered in this context are called User Channels.

Creating a User Channel:

1. Login to MyMediasite

2. Select Channels on the right side of the page.

3. Click the + Add Channel button.

4. Enter the Channel Name – this is the only piece of required information.

   • Friendly Name – this will show up in the URL. *Do not use spaces*

   • Channel Description – details about the channel.

   • Channel Functionality – you can turn on multiple features at the channel level that will impact the presentations.

5. Click Create Channel.

The channel will be empty when it is created and you will need to add presentations to the channel before sharing.

Watch a video of this process under the section How to Create a Channel.
