We here at Team Mediasite like to take some time at the end of the year to look back at some of our favorite moments. Here are the highlights of 2016. Keep checking back in the coming days and weeks as we update the list.
1. New Logo! This fall we rolled out an entirely new look. Fifteen years ago, Mediasite was a room-based, desktop web streaming platform.

It’s a figurative representation a film reel.
