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:
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.

The Meeting Owl Pro is a videoconference device used by K-State for virtual learning and meetings. The device uses cameras and microphones that capture 360-degree video and audio and automatically focus on whoever is speaking to make meetings more dynamic and inclusive.
A recently published security analysis has concluded the devices pose an unacceptable risk to the networks they connect to and the personal information of those who register and administer them.
On June 3 and June 6, Owl Labs launched patches for the most severe vulnerabilities. The updates have been published to every Meeting Owl device at K-State. However, some risks still remain. Owl Labs is currently fixing the remaining issues.
K-State Division of Information Technology is actively managing this issue and is taking proactive steps to protect the University. Depending on the device and patch status, some devices might not connect to the internet. Once the issue is entirely resolved, all devices will work as expected.

As originally announced in January, support for the Mediasite Desktop Recorder (MDR) software will end on June 30. Mediasite users are encouraged to instead use the free MDR replacement called Mediasite Mosaic.
Mosaic can capture your computer screen, webcam, and microphone into a Mediasite presentation. 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.
The aging Mediasite Desktop Recorder software is already operating under a limited support status and is incapable of running on the current macOS version. After June 30, manufacturer and university support for the product will cease. Sonic Foundry, the company responsible for Mediasite, has confirmed Mediasite Desktop Recorder will not work with a future release of the Mediasite platform. Continue reading “Mediasite Desktop Recorder support ends June 30, switch to Mosaic”
