Record in-person class sessions with Mediasite

For online sessions, Zoom provides built-in functionality for creating and sharing recordings. But if you’re teaching in a Stern classroom, lecture capture is handled by Mediasite.

How Mediasite Works

Mediasite is NYU Stern’s lecture capture system. It uses cameras and microphones configured within classrooms to capture in-person classes. You can then make session recordings available to students online. Recorded links can be emailed to students or shared via Brightspace. Viewers need an NYU Stern account to access recordings. 

If you will be regularly posting recordings to Brightspace, you can set up auto-posting with help from the Stern IT Classroom Event Technology Group (CETG). Check out full instructions on requesting automatic Mediasite posting.

In class, plan on wearing a microphone so your audio will be captured clearly. Also, keep in mind that the Mediasite camera may have difficulty capturing details on the in-person whiteboard. If you need to ensure those details are visible in the recording, it’s preferable to use the stylus to draw or annotate with the room PC, which Mediasite can capture directly.

If you have questions about how to prepare for a Mediasite recording or how to access recordings after they’ve been created, consult Stern IT’s Mediasite documentation or reach out to the Stern IT Service Desk.
