Administrators can automate folder destinations, naming conventions, and publishing options, allowing for hassle-free recording and publishing of hundreds of presentations without manual intervention.
☑ Automated User Profile Provisioning
For large organizations, Mediasite’s automated user profile provisioning is a time-saving boon. This workflow enables the automatic creation of user profiles via an organization’s existing security or third-party identity provider. So, when new users log into MyMediasite, their profiles are created and validated automatically, eliminating the need for manual profile creation.
☑ Mediasite Search
Mediasite Search supports efficient content discovery by automatically making all videos searchable. Leveraging OCR for text in slides, annotations, and automated speech-to-text transcription for spoken content, Mediasite Search enables users to find specific content across individual videos, channels, or the entire system. (Pro tip: Applying Captions Powered by Vidable® to your content will generate a more accurate transcription and, by extension, more accurate search results!)
☑ Viewership Analytics
Mediasite provides detailed viewership analytics to understand audience behavior, measure content impact, and drive informed decision-making.

Mediasite storage reports give admins a holistic, real-time view of their content library, user activity, and storage capacity, enabling better-informed decision making.
