Mediasite’s Publish To Go feature to be removed over winter break

Posted on by Christine Doucette

Mediasite, Kansas State University’s centrally supported video platform, continues evolving to meet today’s learners’ needs. After the fall 2022 semester, the Division of Information Technology will update Mediasite, which features a new Premier Player interface.

The new Premier Player will have:

  • Faster video load times
  • Full-screen capable display
  • Improved accessibility controls
  • 360-degree video playback

Due to this product evolution, the Publish To Go feature will be removed from Mediasite once this update is applied. This is because it will be incompatible with the new player technology and will no longer be available. Publish To Go is a delivery method that allows Mediasite presentations to be downloaded as a .zip file and viewed offline through a computer’s web browser.

Additionally, it can import and upload other existing videos stored on your computer to Mediasite and allow you to preview your captures before uploading, among other useful features. Mosaic is available for free inside the MyMediasite web portal.
