Mediasite Video Platform review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris B. | Faculty Trainer/Consultant of Learning Technologies, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Mediasite Video Platform?** My favorite things about the Mediasite video platform are the split-screen viewers where presentation can be on a 2nd panel (with the ability to select focus) as well as the internal video editor. **What do you dislike about Mediasite Video Platform?** Though feature-rich, there aren't built-in easy explanations or entry-level user options. So for wide-scale deployment, there is a fair burden on trainers to upskill users. **Recommendations to others considering Mediasite Video Platform:** Great platform if you have a central media dept that can manage and support it **What problems is Mediasite Video Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mediasite offers a highly customizable solution for video streaming and presenation. Excellent for studio-level projects and works well for user-driven projects. ### 5. Longstanding Mediasite user.

It works when it needs too, but plenty of issues. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2021 **What do you like best about Mediasite Video Platform?** I never experience downtime. I need to also meet the character limit in this post. **What do you dislike about Mediasite Video Platform?** It logs you out frequently, the "recommended" videos don't make any sense. Say I watch lecture 3a of one course, it recommends 3b of some other course, or lecture 1. **Recommendations to others considering Mediasite Video Platform:** Just use youtube, make it available to the world. **What problems is Mediasite Video Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Another problem is integration into canvas, after every video I need to reload the page and start searching from the start. ### 7. Great way to record lectures **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Mediasite Video Platform?** My school uses Mediasite to record our daily lectures, so that if we either skip a class, or need to go back and re-watch the lecture, we are able to do so. From the end of the student, it is easy to use and very organized. However, I can not speak for the IT people who implement the software and make sure that our videos are uploaded correctly. **What do you dislike about Mediasite Video Platform?** Sometimes there are technical difficulties and the lectures get lost, but they are able to restore the server to an earlier backup and sometimes they are able to find the lectures that are lost are put them up there. **Recommendations to others considering Mediasite Video Platform:** Now after having a school with this software, I couldn't imaging going to a school that did not record their lectures and put them on Mediasite. **What problems is Mediasite Video Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** It records lectures so that we can rewatch them. My school has been using the same platform for many years, so if anything happens, like the professor forgets to record the lecture, or class is cancelled due to inclement weather, we are able to go onto mediasite and watch lectures from past years. It is super easy to search using the title of the lecture, or the professor's name, to find past lectures. And the current lectures are neatly organized by class year and course. ### 8.
