Add interactivity to a Mediasite video

The PlayPosit integration with Mediasite allows institutional partners to add interactivity and accountability to all hosted video content. Once the integration is completed by the administrator, instructors/designers can pull Mediasite content into PlayPosit following the steps below:

1.  Navigate to the PlayPosit dashboard and click ADD NEW BULB.

   

2. Select Mediasite to access your library of hosted videos. Depending on how your institution has opted to set this up, you will have access to all content or only the content owned by you. 

   

   1. Note: If the Mediasite button is not available to you, this means your institution has not purchased Mediasite, or Mediasite has not been set up by your administrator.
3. Find the video you'd like to pull into PlayPosit by entering a Search/Filter term or scroll through the list of videos.
4. Once you have selected a video, you can change the title, add captions, and trim/crop your video. Once you're finished, click Done.

Note: Captions that are available in Mediasite will automatically be fetched and added to the PlayPosit player. For more information on how to enable captions automatically, click here.

Now you are ready to begin adding interactions into your Mediasite-hosted video. To learn more about building a PlayPosit bulb with the video, click here.

Permissions

Mediasite content permission: 

When a co-editor of a Bulb adds a Mediasite video from their Mediasite account, the co-editor must specifically grant the owner of the Bulb "read-only" permissions within Mediasite. 

Bulb ownership:

The bulb owner must be the same as the Mediasite content owner, or the learners will see the following error message when launching the bulb.

Please follow the instructions in this article to transfer the bulb’s ownership to the owner of the Mediasite content to prevent this issue.
