What is Mediasite?
Mediasite is the platform used by SFU to automate scheduled recordings in supported rooms. Recordings are captured based on your SFU Course Outline information and can be distributed through Canvas. A browser-based video editor is also available to make your own adjustments to your recordings.
What is My Mediasite?
My Mediasite is a Content Management System available for you to view and manage your class recordings. It allows you to make changes to your videos, control their visibility and create playlists of other videos from your library that you can share with other SFU users. MyMediasite can also be integrated into your Canvas course.
My Mediasite also provides access to Mediasite Desktop Recorder (MDR) to record your lectures ahead of time for delivery to your students

This solution also allows you to record your sessions so that they can be watched again by students in Canvas. Optionally, you can download these recordings for long-term storage or upload them to MyMediasite.
